When I was in the Army on active duty at Ft Lewis/ Madigan AMC, me and some of the other guys in the barracks use to go down and climb Mt St Helens in 77 and 78.
I was in Minnesota by the time It blew....
What amazed my memory, was how the Top 1300 feet, where we use to go up to at times... had completely blown off...
That crazy old Harry Truman, that wouldn't evacuate ended up dying up there. He was like 85 or so at the time.... which means he would have been born in the 1890s.
That was kind of sad.
Not sad, he knew what was going to happen and chose to go that way.
