Just 50 pounds!? I wish I could say that. I weighed in at all of 152 pounds and a 29" waist when I joined the service. Now I'm 275 and a 40" waist. (but falling if I can stick to my New Year's resolution) My wife cooks too good... yeah it's all HER fault! LOL!

Ed, Sr., THANKS for the pic. I was born in 1959, so that was "my" war. You are one of my heroes, due to your service. Whatever you did. You even had your finger off of the trigger--LOL. I know not everyone got toys like NV. I'm sure you have stories too, as lurker mentioned. I look forward to shaking your hand even more now at the BRC. Thank again for the pic and [u]your service to the Country.[/u]

Oh, Campy! You are trying to be kind. Ed is more likely to be a bit older than you guessed. I'd say 53-55. This is judging by rank (Spc. 4, Unit (goofy red patch), and special training insignias (airborne)in his pic. He HAS kept himself in decent shape for as old as he is! [:P] DaMan |
