HOTEL BRAVO: FRONT DESK
|

|

As we deplaned at Bien Hoa, in the black of night, the pungent, sweet,
overpowering odor of fermenting
vegetation filled our lungs
with thousands of years of life and death. Once
seated in our theater seats under the corrugated steel roof, the Briefer began
by telling us the plane before ours had been rocketed. A wing had suffered
damage and two men had died. So why didn't someone turn off the damned lights
in the briefing
area?

Our friend Dudley, as he appeared one afternoon in 1981, in an enchanted forest he likes to frequent,
where Mr. Noshoulders lives and the rain is warm through the sweat soaked cloth of his clothing;
where memories are to be played with and the soul is there to become renewed, because it is quiet and
other souls come to walk and smoke and rap quietly about what it is that makes a soul a soul.

THUNDER ROAD REVERIE:
" Panthers fear no evil,
in the valley of Reaper's Shadow,
the Jungle Cat stalks,
with The Walking Dead."

We were just fiddling with the mechanisms for page making and got in over our heads. Now we are
trying to find our way out with honor. Our sincerest gratitude to our friend Fats for this most
prestigious award. His on going support and continuous suggestions are invaluable. Not to mention
the many times he has bailed us out of trouble as we fumble our way toward the light. Thanks,
friend. Having been drafted isn't so bad with you around. Your companionship greatly helps make
a sometimes dreadful
journey through this Odyssey more worth taking. Your inspiration is a constant encouragement,
Brother, as we must occasionally renew our commitment to the Truth that the mission isn't over till
everyone is Home. We deeply thank you for being there. -
The Management
