Returning to the Pond - Walden Pond

 Walden Pond; I haven't been here in a long time --- YEARS!

This will be a short entry. Posting an entry has changed so much over the years that I am simply babbling in an effort to learn what I have forgotten, or to learn what has changed?

Thought I would throw in a picture of the flight crew from my 1963 tour in Vietnam. It was early. We had only four airplanes and a very small crew. This image includes everyone, pilots, maintenance crew, and equipment operators. Our mission was to monitor and locate enemy communication devices.

The actual purpose of inserting the image was simply to learn how. Pretty simple. It has changed considerably over the years -- for the better.

By the way, I am sitting in front row, first on the left.

Back to the present; I am watching election news and wondering whatever happened to the democracy that I was defending during my more than thirty years in the much maligned Intelligence Community -- including two tours in Vietnam and more than ten years developing and documenting state of the art intelligence collection systems.

Enough of that. Here's to more interesting posts from around the Pond.
