Roger Keebaugh commented on Michael S. Jackson's group Veterans" Ha! Ha! What a coincidence, I was in the Navy during Viet Nam, made two tours over there.

Day 15: The end is near. I can smell it.
Shin Ichikawa and I started the day by fitting and glueing the back binding. Last night's fitting of the top binding was tedious, but the tricks we learned made the fit of back binding go smothly.
