She was a definate breath of fresh air from the reality of where we were. I wondered sometimes at the actions of the "higher ups" and why we just dind't end this thing - we could have at any time - but would get the most angry when some old solder would comment "just lolok at all the money we are spending in the second world war we would send in a platoon and take that hill!" I resondede that I guess in your mind men are cheeper that bullets and bombs. Got a reprimaind for that one but I served with a briliant Col.

THAT DAY SHE WAS WEARING HER FAMOUS RED DRESS WITH HER BLONDE HAIR UP. I RECALL WAITING ON THE HELI-PAD FOR HER, WHILE SHE VISITED. I REMEMBER A 105 HOWITZER BEING FIRED AND A ROUND MARKER IMPACTING A MOUNTAIN IN THE DISTANCE. I QUICKLY GRABBED MY 35MM CAMERA AND SNAPPED A SHOT OF THE PERIMETER LINE OF LZ DOLLY, WITH THE WHITE SMOKE FROM YOUR 105 ROUND IN THE DISTANCE ON THAT DAY! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH, "CONTACT BOBBIE" W/ INFO AS SHE HAS A PRINT OF THIS, AND WILL EMAIL A COPY TO YOU. OR I CAN SEND YOU A COPY! BOBBIE WILL CONTACT ME W/ YOUR INFO!

Bobby was the boss's secretary and I was one of the fans of her weather program. I enjoyed reading the interview with Bobby and finding out what she has been doing lately.
