No Fibs here

Email inbound, enjoy.

No fibs here, I can assure you. I spoke with LTC Burruss on Wensday, got the pics the next day. If you speak with him again he may remember me as the "fellow Virginian" who called him out of the blue. Actually the first number I got was his sisters but she kindly gave me his number. I tested the waters with her but she assured me that her brother wouldnt mind my calling at all. Indeed he was very helpful. I dont make a habit of cold calling people like that but my research had reached a dead end and I figured it was worth a shot.
I will be reproducing a typical uniform as worn on Eagle Claw for a mannequin display in my private museum, aka my office. The photos of Delta in Mark Bowdens book were attributed to LTC Burruss but I wanted to find better pics showing more detail. Eventually my collection will be the basis for a book on SF uniforms from inception through Desert Storm.
