I remember years ago on an Army assignment, flying from Ft. Chaffee to Ft. Sill in a Huey. We flew over the McAlester prison while it was burning, so you know how long ago that was. Had to look it up, the McAlester riot was in 1973..

The mention of Ft. Sill brings back memories..

I would imagine they got some serious rain, hopefully nothing worse.

DF,
Thanks. I don't get to talk to him much, obviously. Hopefully all is well with him.
