Good to meet ya Michael. I retired out of the Canoe Club in 90, and
we go out west each year, partially to visit relatives,
and anyway, we love the Southwest.

Was with MAC-V in '70, at Phuloc, South of Camp Eagle (phubai). Short timer, there. Co-located with 2nd/327th 101st. Spent time with locals, no interaction with US forces. Went over alone, came back alone.

I am Retired Navy , and a Vietnam Veteran.  I was on the Riverboats, down in the

Mekong Delta.   Yes, we are thereby Btothers.   The wife and I are going

fulltime this summer.  We will leave Ohio in July, and slowly head west,

to Phoenix, Stopping in  Texas wher I have relatives, since I am lucky

to have my Mother still , now 94, and acts and looks like 75, I will get

to visit, and see old school friends.  I have a brother in New Mexico, a

sisgter in Arizona, and Linda's Mom is in Arizona.  We will look for an

acre or so, to buy and put water, elect, and sewage, for a winterhome.

Then we can travel some in summer, and not be tied down to one

place.  Since the housing market botomed out, our hjome value went

wayu below what we owe the bank, and we had even discussed

stop making payments and just walk away, but this meant destroy-

ing our good credit.   So the other day, she came up with a

brlliant idea.   The oldest daughter and family live here in town,

in a small place, and it is crowded.  Move here, we have a huge

garage 30X49 large fenced in back yard, and the house is  good

sized.   Pay what they are paying now, plus we would do the

remaining $175.00 to make the house payment, and store a few

things here we want to keep.  We would have a full hookup here, and

free.    All family things, holidays, etc everhyone will spend here, just

like we do now,   The difference, they would have a bigger home,

we would be fulltimers, and we don't ruin our credit.  This also

gives our Grandaughter now 3 years old, a safe place to play.
