Went back to Bragg last year (for the first time in 10 years) and couldn't believe it. Hayes street is now a tourist attraction, but Bruce the gay beret is still there, so I guess the old days are not over. At 53 years old, I just did my 131st jump with my bud from 1/75 at HAAF GA. Man what a rush! Take care brother and as I tell my grandson, life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but how many times life takes your breath away! Live hard die pretty; Hondo
