A Much Younger Me<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A couple of years ago, my wife Nina gathered together some things she had been saving for more than 30 years from my time in the United States Air Force, put them in frames, and gave them to me as a Christmas present.<\/p>\n

We spent that Christmas down in North Salt Lake at our daughter’s house with her family. After we got back home, we couldn’t find the pictures. For more than two years the pictures have been something we’ve commented about, but they were gone … until April 20th. Nina dropped her iPhone down between the bed and the storage bench at the foot of the bed. She pulled the storage bench away from the bed and there were the pictures underneath the bench.<\/p>\n

Someday I’ll put scans of the pictures on my blog. Today, though, I’ve scanned the picture taken of me when I was selected as Airman of the Quarter for Yokota AFB in Japan in the spring of 1967. A few interesting things about the picture:<\/p>\n
