A small cave up on the Northern end of Okinawa in 1961. Since it had a skeleton [scattered] in it, we may have been the first humans in it since him.

Being drunk at the time, we took the skull with us. One guy was still up drinking Taikoko and talking to the skull when I went to sleep.

Next morning, he went crazy as hell and had to be hauled off in a strait jacket. I saw him thirty years later and he was still not right in the head.

After we got him in the jacket and we hauled him to the hospital, some of the guys buried the skull out in the brush near where we were camped. I never told the Doctor about the skull, since it was prob'ly against the law to take it.

I wanted to take it back to the cave, but we weren't sure we could find it in the daylight.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
