Just came in from the Cambodian border to this party and was drenched in sweat as my '52 Citroen had no A.C.

  1. Ah, yes, I remember it well. I seem to remember it was often populated with French rubber plantation managers who appeared to be able to operate with impunity in areas controlled or dominated by the VC/NVA> I often wondered how they managed that?

  2. The photos are heartbreaking and enigmatic. What was that world like for you and how can anyone possibly reconcile that past with the present?
    A much needed story is there to tell.

    1. Thanks and April 30, 1975 was the saddest day of my life. I have many personal, funny stories on Nam South Memories of the Republic of South Vietnam starting with the oldest, page 7. I have more pictures that I will post daily.
