tracker, I got lucky.

A NCO I worked with knew of him, so I found an excuse (IIRC watch battery) to go into the store.   I'm a history buff (my minor in college) and just wanted to meet him.  He did not have a clue I was in there for something other than a regular customer.  Of course he looked a lot more like his service pictures then.  No internet to search these things out, just books and stuff from the library.  Long time ago :)
