Traveled first to p y do as a courier, was held over on the island after landing on the low tide beach aboard a C47
tail dragger amid scrapped fuselage of a rok c46> (as the story went the rok pilot committed suicide) Was
reassigned to the island soon after. The initiation of 12 shots of whatever the bartender could find and the
thirteenth creme de mint. As my alcohol poisoned brain stores it, the green weenie, although I have heard others
refer to it as green beenie?
Was there when the north korean threat to take the island played out. Then the many high ranking visitors, and
finally the either lcu s or lst s beached at high tide we loaded the det on board, leaving the duce and a half for
catholic priest father moffit and plowed through the incredible fog south to inchon(?)
