Introduction to My Bus

     My passages in “Bus” were first written for another publication, Reflections, Observations and Decisions.  Fred’s initiative to develop Bus provided me the opportunity to contribute selections from ROD because of their relevancy to people and experiences in Bus.

     I’ve enjoyed few people and few events in my life as meaningful, warm, and enlightening to me as those during the so brief time of September 1969 through May 1972.  This is the period from which I entered service in the US Air Force and learned I’d be going to Viet Nam through my two tours of duty there.  “It was the best of times.  It was the worst of times.”  Almost.

ROD is being written in celebration of the people who’ve impacted my life.  I can think of no better place to share pertinent parts therein than herein.

Palace Dogs individually and collectively have helped define me.  Thank you.

Give and Take Care,

Rod
