I think I knew him briefly as well
Sorry to come into this thread so late... but I happened to catch the name "Changiz" and thought that it might be the same Changiz that I met briefly on North Fort Lewis in 1983-1984.
I found him trying to put out a fire that he'd started in a dumpster... trying to burn some letters he'd received from home... and it was starting to get out of control... and helped him put it out.
Afterwards... he explained what he was doing and why... but not before he leaned forward... looking deeply into my eyes for a few seconds (with a very serious and intimidating look in his eyes)... coming to some final decision in his own mind... and simply saying "I like you..." to me.
We parted ways then... and rarely met after that... but I remember that incident with clarity even now... and sometimes wonder what would have happened to someone if he "didn't like them..."
BTW
