    Still so very hard to look at after all these years. A friend once showed me pictures he took while there - stark and haunting.

      Yes and I like the film camera pictures as they can be enlarged without loosing detail. Here I am my one of mine a few years ago.:)

      Oh, yeah, that was the one I was referring to, it's just that I didn't see it in the link I posted. My buddy and I were just screwing off.:) Got a lot of good stories with him.


      Brock, Tu Duc 1974, '52 Citroen, wig, shades, my stomach pushed out, and a funny looking cigarette below. I had just gotten my car back from the paint shop.
