I miss my friend: We were good friends in Munich, Germany. at Warner Kasern, for three years. I think of the good times
we had together. You and Sadie and Little Al, were like the family that I didn't have in Germany. Thanks. I didn't know you
were gone, until I talked to your Father a few years back. Always a friend, ED, I think of you every veteran's day.
What's up short round? You are the only one I can find from Warner. I have health problems from Agent Orange.
Maybe we can Soldier together in the other place? Ed, Jesse Edmond, 1333 Landsbrook Dr, Indianpolis, IN 46260.
