There's some sweet coincidence in this thread resurfacing after being asleep for a few years. Early last August four of my buds from the 553rd and I met in Las Vegas after not seeing each other in over 40 years. We had a ball, and it seemed like we'd only been apart a couple weeks. Grown, old men acting like kids again. We made it a mission to try to locate as many of the ol' guys as we could and see what happens. We thought it would be great to have a reunion later this year. Well, I just got back from having a planning meeting in LV with 17 of them and we're on for October. Same thing happened again with the dozen "new" members of the group.......war stories, and good fun. We've located 142 so far, 29 of which are in the big hangar in the sky. Each of them has stories about the other, some of which long forgotten, some even have pictures to back them up.................I would guess some folks wish there weren't that much evidence!Anyway, it's just been great seeing those guys again.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
