After I finished my first year of high school in southwest Florida, in May of 1960, we traveled up to Washington, DC, where my father was to be given indoctrination training for his two year posting overseas. He was being loaned by the Federal Aviation Agency to the Agency for International Development. (Throughout his entire career, beginning in 1937 after a stint with the Army, Dad worked for the FAA and its variously-named predecessor and successor agencies.) He was going to be an advisor to the Directorate of Civil Aviation of the Republic of South Vietnam, specializing in electronic equipment used in the field of aviation. Before I get into the meat of this Post, I’d first like to preface it with this: For the past several days I’ve been pre-occupied assisting a very, very, very dear friend who went through a 9 hour surgery this past Tuesday involving the removal of one kidney and repair of two very large abdominal hernias. She was discharged from the hospital today. She is still experiencing considerable discomfort and extreme pain. She will be confined to bed for at least the next two weeks. I’ll be pre-occupied assisting her throughout her recovery which is expected to last 6 to 8 weeks. As you may suspect, in light of the above, my priorities over the past few days have not involved this site very much. The remainder of this Post is in response to *one* particular individual (a Saigon Kid) who has *repeatedly demanded* over the past few days that I reply to their question. |
