Thanks for your feedback, Eric. I am in Oregon now. Let’s get together in April for coffee and chat. My next posts will be a series of 7 or 8 with the focus on brother Terry. Take care.

I liked your interesting comments regarding your early years as an Army brat. A very unusual upbringing. Are you free of those years or do you carry baggage? I can imagine it was not all negative. I look forward to hearing more from you when we gather for coffee.

This story is made familiar to me in the context of spending seventeen years as a kid in the military. They called us Army brats, which seemed like a way of blaming us for being where we were. I often said, if they lived a life of being plucked out of one temporary home, school and social life then plunked down in a completely unfamiliar place, and be labeled a brat, then they might be a little less judgemental.

Well, Roger, that was an interesting chapter of your life. Fighting for your right as a CO is not an experience many people have to go through. Enjoyed reading about it, and look forward to the next series.
