I'll bet our paths did cross at some point. My OSC bunkie became an F-4 pilot, Dan Gesswein, and my best friend Jerry Lavene also flew F-4s. We did exercises with the CH-53s, which could move our 155mm towed howitzers.

We're a UGA family (myself, two kids) and looking forward to the start of a new football season. We have a group that we've been parking and tailgaiting with for 30 years - our kids grew up and now come back with their kids.

I'd like very much to see the new museum. I will let you know if I can get up that way.

If you read my book, I'd certainly like your feedback. Matterhorn has become a blockbuster, and it's on my list to read.

Take care, Jerry

I was a Marine artillery officer from 1970-1973. Recently released a novel about the year 1968, called Shall Never See So Much. About a brother and sister, with the brother a platoon leader during Tet.

You have a good foundation for a fine personal library. We shared 50 books—nearly a quarter of your list. You may wish to look through my listing for other volumes of interest. Good luck with your collection!
