Sam ... Sorry it's taken me so long to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your book "Flying Death" The Vietnam Experience. The next time I get back to Connecticut we need to get together over a couple of beers and I will give you my insight as one of the original HMM 164 Pilots. Back in July a bunch of the Shadrick/Corliss era pilots from HMM-262 and the HMM-164 transplants held a mini reunion in Vegas. Over a few brews in the suite/hooch, I entertained them with various excerpts out of your book, which I had just received the day before we drove up from SoCal. Needless to say you brought back a lot of memories. Take care s/f
