Got the word this morning about another mate passing away . He was a bit older than me (13 or so years) a Veitnam Vet ... 2 tours.
He had an attitude , that's hard to define in these times .... not a tough guy , not a show off ( in fact , far from it ) ..... just a good guy.
I can recall many a night glued to his accounts of where he had been , the things he had seen .....
Anyway , cheers to you Steve .... its only Orange juice , but i reckon you will understand.

...something that I am constantly aware of, Marty...

....!

At the age of 80/81, just about all my old school chums, friends, neighbours, workmates, etc.....

...are dropping like flies all around me now, or have all passed away, long, long ago!

I'm just very glad that I am keeping on going, year after year, in excellent health...(mainly due to my daily cooking good, healthy "stuff", and being Happy, to keep me going...forever!).....

...!

The older we get...the luckier we are!

Paul....Boxing Day's dins on the go now...with a couple? of glasses of Baileys Delight...Woo-Hoo!.....

...!

I have a good mate .. ex Vietnam vet who only lives around the corner, only met him thru the airshow Space Shuttle program back in 1990/92, one thing Stu really appreciates is us younger guys filling in the gaps and having an interest in what they did ... so they never feel forgotten.
