Remarkable day in my life was Wed, Nov 9 ,’66. Election day in US and CA but Wed in Phan Rang Viet Nam. Morning mission supporting troop convoys up down route Saigon to War Zone C.. Hour of 30,000′ boredom till replaced and off to work low troops in contact or vital supplies with bombs guns and nape fun and games. BUT getting shot at all the time. Back early PM and found the news so whapped self up the forehead. Still a Riverside March AFB resident on record, now my US Rep was John Tunney, a Heavyweight Champ’s son , My US Senator  was  George “Muffin” Murphy song and dance  actor former Head  Screen Actors  Guild,  liberals  both but NOW  a defeated  Pat  Brown , Moonbeam’s dad  was my new Gov another  actor and Guild  Pres Ronald Reagan, Conservative and thereby  hangs the tale! For a time  was both stasis and growth CA and USA.in turn. ? Are we back half century  full swing of the tide?  DIP
