Flew from Fire Base Bastogne to Eagle Beach. Quite a treat.
I shook hands with LBJ, believe in 68. He looked like a dead man walking.
Why didn't you poke him in the eye.He's the reason we were there.
I dont think I blame Johnson for me being there, might blame the commies tho.
I was able to get to Camp Enari (Pleiku) for the Bob Hope show in 67, with Raquel Welch, my God she was gorgeous!!! Somehow managed a front row seat. Chris Noel sat on my lap and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Thought you might be interested to see this. It is the poster they handed out for the Bob Hope show. I did not get to go as we had to keep the A1's up. Welcome Home! Thanks JR

I was at the Bob Hope Christmas Show on Hill 327 in Danang in 1965. I have a picture of me with Joey Heatherton. I also met Jack Jones and Carol Baker. Martha Raye was frequently at the Danang PX chatting with troops. However, by far my favorite was Robert Mitchum. He landed at Dong Ha without fanfare or any prior notice, off-loaded ten cases of beer, talked to us for awhile and took off again.
Ditto here. Only it happened on the USS Ticonderoga.
Never made the USO shows on Hill 327, but saw Marta Ray and Ray Bolger at the Chow Hall. Seen first hand pics of Joey Heaterdin, what a doll!!

I posted this two years ago. Reading it just now, I remembered the third guy was Lou Hudson. So, I'm feeling pretty good about my brain for the moment.
