CONVERSATIONS

JH: “How many tours did your brother do in Vietnam?”

JT: “Four. He was on his third when he set a world record in the high jump.”

JH: “What world record?”

JT: “He rappelled down from a helicopter to check out a cave,

JT: found a python waiting,

JT: jumped back into the helicopter,

JT: didn’t even use the rope.”

(Thanks Pat, for going above and beyond. You are amazing – and not just for the high jump. With love, Jim)
