So many quesions... but how else would I know?


I begin writing my book by reviewing what the Vets told me.  Then I just start writing. 
 I can go back and make it sound better at any time.
But I cannot get far before I have to do more research. I need details. Lots of details.
I need to feel like I am there.  That means researching on the internet.  And asking Phil.
I ask Phil LOTS and LOTS of questions. I want details. 
He says that it was 50 years ago. 
Do I really expect him to remember details?  
But, he does a good job.  Some things he thinks about for a while, but every tidbit he passes on to me is helpful.
And we look at pictures.  They help a lot.

Me: You wore shorts?  I didn't know they issued shorts.
Phil: (Laughing) No. We were wearing our underwear. Drab Olive underwear. It was really hot there. And usually we had on boots.
