"Joe and I were stationed at Fort Jackson when we were in the army years ago and used to travel home together for a 3 day pass. Had alot of trips I still remember and wondered how we did it. I have made a good many trips to Az as my daughter lives in Glendale on W. Golden Ave. If I had known Joe was there I would have gotten in touch. My thoughts are with you at this time. Jack Culver"
