1967, Tigerland, Ft. Polk, LA, assisting training cadre with new incoming trainees while awaiting orders. Two former elementary school classmates from Chicago I hadn't seen in years in new training cycle, was kind sweet on one's sister back in the day. Ran into another one at PX from old neighborhood in Chicago who was permanent party at FT. Polk but not Tigerland.
O'Hare airport, on leave, waiting for flight home, got to talking with a U.S. Marine also waiting for same flight. As we talked discovered both he and I were headed to same town, the more we talked found out not only knew several of the same people but were blood related to the same people. Come to find out the Marine and I were blood cousins who had never met before.
