Oh yeah right, an officer just offered you his jeep. That is not how I remember it. As memory serves me you were just drunk enough to steal a Colonel's jeep and Sgt. Ward had a fit when you showed up in the staging area with it. Seems to me he told you to take it back where you found it and you started out to do just that but being drunk and all you slid off the road and hung it up. Now it is not easy to hang up a jeep but you managed. So you just left it there and walked back with the Colonel not knowing who took his jeep. You told Sgt. Ward you had taken care of everything and in a sense I guess you had because where you left the jeep was far enough from the 1/50th area that the blame could not be accurately placed. Although the T V show **MASH** did use the same stolen jeep story for Hawkeye's arrival I think that the statute of limitations has expired for a civil lawsuit to be effective. Of course you could check with Harry Wilson on that. Incidentally I would like to deny any involvement or knowledge of the aforementioned actions.
As for coming down this spring, I am not sure the general populace of the immediate area would be willing to put up with us again but if they are agreeable and if Larry can make it I would very much like a return tour. I will have to contact Larry and we will get back with you Mick.
