Mike, Greetings from almost 30 years ago. The last that I heard about Larry (Lawrence Lee Lawman) was that he had become a pastor and moved somewhere away from Minneapolis. If you would like to get in touch I think that I may be able to locate him through our highschool alumni records. Good to see your name after all this time. Do you remember our other partners, SGT Hassen Nussein, CPL Taddese Debessai (our driver) and Const. Habte Tesfahunei. How about those drives in that little green VW bug with the windows rolled up and the heater going for all it was worth? Later, Steve

DO ANY OF YOU GUYS REMEMBER ANY OF THE MP'S ASSIGNED TO TTU. ONE WAS A BLONDE SGT AND ONE WAS A REAL TALL GUY NAMED HARRY. WE GOT INTO IT ON THE SMALL ISLAND ONE NIGHT AND HARRY WAS HIT IN THE FACE WITH A PIECE OF CORAL. HE STUCK HIS TONGUE DOWN THERE AND IT CAME OUT BETWEEN HIS LIP AND CHIN. [THIS WAS DONE BY A STREET KID]HE WAS BLEEDING LIKE A STUCK PIG [NO PUN INTENDED].LOL A KID WAS JUMPING OFF A TRUCK ONTO HIS BACK AND I PUNCHED HIM IN THE MOUTH. WE TOOK HARRY TO THE FRENCH DOC AND HAD HIM SEWED UP. MY HAND HAD A SMALL CUT AND WHEN WE GOT BACK TO OUR ROOMS, I POURED SOME JIM BEAM ON IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE. TWO DAYS LATER I WENT TO KAGNEW ON BUSINESS AND MY HAND WAS A LITTLE PUFFY. WE WENT DOWN TOWN THAT NIGHT AND ONE DRINK WIPED ME OUT . ABOUT MIDNIGHT, I RETURNED TO POST AND ASKED THE MP ON THE GATE HOW MY HAND LOOKED. HE SAID IT WAS REAL SWOLLEN AND I SHOULD GO TO THE HOSPITAL. I WENT IN AND ASKED THE MEDIC TO LOOK AT IT AND HE PULLED ON MY MIDDLE FINGER TO LOOK AT MY HAND, IT BURST OPEN AND I PASSED OUT. WOKE UP A WEEK LATER. I HAD BLOOD POISON AND ALMOST DIED. THERE WAS A PIECE OF TOOTH UNDER MY KNUCKLE. I HAVE NEVER HIT ANYONE WITH MY HAND SINCE.ANYHOW THOSE GUYS WERE THE BEST.
