Francis, you got your wish with UConn, and my beloved Kansas Jayhawks went out far too early, and Jim Hall, yes your Richmond teams were superior, but that was this year and next year, look out.

And next year, maybe some of you guys will join me at White Sands. I have two friends who are getting knee replacement surgery this year, one older, another the same age, and just get a grease fitting installed with your new knee and come on the march.

Dean's observation about conservatives with compassion is right on. However, his statement about liberals with head must refer to someone I haven't yet met.

And when I saw him putting out the wreath at the Tomb of The Unknows each 11/Nov for 8 years, I wanted to puke!! I suppose I could add something about Monica Lewd-inski, but I won't, for now anyways!!

An acquaintance, Bob Shirkey, was a young officer on the Cabutan raid to rescue the Bataan prisoners and I have heard him recount his adventures a couple times. He is retired here as a B/Gen and spent his whole career in the Rangers. I have met the author of Ghost Soldiers, Hampton Sides, but have not read the book, probably should.

I'd like to make the march and if they could provide some incentive, as in being chased by a superior force of NVA, I might be able to make it. Adrenalin is a wonderful stimulant!
