WHAT WERE YOUR
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
                      AT PRAB:  
As an E-5 it became my responsibility to run the night shift. Hard to
get enough sleep too since the heat by 11:00 AM often woke me up.
In any case, near the end of my tour there my shop chief paid a nice
compliment. Said (in front of everyone else at shift change) that I was
always in the right place at the right time and got the job done. After
months of frustration it was nice to know I was doing something right.

YOUR BEST MEMORIES
                           OF PRAB:  
PRAB was where I married my wife in 1970....32 years ago.

Liked going to the NCO club in the evening and get a couple
of those hamburgers an Aussie cooked just off the main room.
Then relax with a couple beers.

YOUR FAVORITE PHOTO TAKEN
                IN COUNTRY AND WHY:
Friends took us, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Vette, out to dinner at a floating
restaurant on the Saigon River a day or two before Mrs. Huong Vette
boarded a Pan Am flight to San Francisco July 25, 1970.

We wrote 1969 on the picture and later remembered it was really July 1970.
