I'm not actually certain that "The Meeting" is the correct name (his mother said perhaps "The Partisan"?) All I know is the drawing in question they are sitting around a table, some in uniform and some not, looking over some plans/map. Sorry so vague. Trying to make this a surprise so I can't ask them too many questions!

You might get a better response if you read the board rules and stickies and complied with them.

Dave Tolefson, MD
(then) CPT Dave Tolefson, M.D. and I first met in SFQC (started Aug 1979, graduated Apr 1980). Dave was on another team (back then it was all officers in our separate class), but really didn't get to know him until we did the 5th SF pre-SCUBA prior to Key West. Dave and I were the "Blues Brothers" (as I was always in O2-deprevation), and my last real memory of Dave was as he brought me back to life from a shallow-water drowning (knot-tying) - I was always in his debt from then on. If you happen do see him again, tell him Mike Langley (ODA 232) says a very hearty and fond hello - although the years have passed, all the great (with some sad) memories remain - the best years of this man's life were my time in Group. He is a great Soldier and a excellent physican - I'd stake my life on that. All very good men indeed.

Oh no!
Skimeister is on board!
Great seeing your post Mike. Don't forget to introduce yourself on the Intro thread.
And say Howdy to Mongo for me, if he is still there.
Welcome aboard.
