General Discussion

I'm in California and met Denise some years ago on DU. We discovered that her late husband, Mike, and I were in the same Army hospital at the same time as Vietnam casualties. In fact, we were on the same floor. Mike was on the amputee side and I was on the facial casualties side. I probably met Mike back then.

My first wife was from Albuquerque's South Valley. We met at the very end of my hospital stay. She'd finished her junior year in Nursing at UNM and was working in a summer program at the Public Health Service Hospital in San Francisco, not far from Letterman Army Hospital at the Presidio.

I still have a soft spot in my heart for New Mexico.
