There is Hal Holliday and myself here in the SW division. Of course that makes us some of the oldest geezers in SRF!!

Actually, I think the SCCA is getting grey enough that Viet Nam vets are "middle aged". My 19 y.o. draft year would have been the last year of the war (if they hadn't stopped the draft).

I started in 588th Engineers then to 25th Inf - 1969-70 - based Cu Chi and roamed around Dau Tieng (Michelin rubber plantation HQ) - NW of Saigon some 60 miles. GI Bill paid for my college. Congrats to all of us for being here 40+ years later. Eternal thanks to those who aren't.
