Dave Ambrose, Mike Humphrey (back to cam), ?, ?, Me. The two guys in the middle are just strangers who weren't because we were all brothers. Don't know what their names were. Our paths crossed and we mentally journeyed to another time and place long ago through this intensely emotional experience.

Me and John Gowens. We heard there was this heifer named Monica back east, so, being from Missouri, we had to be shown. My buddy John never was too politically correct. Always on the wrong end of a deal. Oh well. Come to find out, it weren't no heifer anyhow.

Former Marine Colonel Oliver North after a speech. Myself, my wife Linda and a few of our veteran friends were invited, as veterans, to hear Ollie speak at a Republican fundraiser. We were asked to dress in military clothes, so we had cammie shirts on with pins and badges. This was around the time of Iran-Contra and we were supposed to be the token display that veterans supported Ollie. As we entered the building, some old gal, dripping with diamonds and fur, inquired if we were supposed to be Contras.
