Hey brother, Welcome Home, thank you for your service to this country. Frank told me about your baskets on the phone one time. They sound beautiful. I love baskets. We are glad to have you here. You are ridin' with good people if your ridin' with Frank. But then you already know that. Take care out there. And watch your six...little sparrow...

Say did you ever fly out of Sembach and make a drop on Dermstein DZ? A small valley with town at one end and vineyards on the hillsides. Made a jump there in early 68 with a too soon green light and whole stick landed in vineyards, Pucker factor was High.
