This past fall I was able to locate an old friend that I had from Jr. High through college. Last time I saw him was at his wedding in '78, right after his commissioning into the Infantry (2nd Lt./Army ROTC). He retired as a Lt. Colonel a few years ago and is still in Germany as an advisor on M.E. Affairs to the military. He's re-married and has issued a standing invite should I get the chance to break loose from here and want to travel to Europe.

It's a bit strange talking about the gaps in your lives between the last time you've seen the person and the now...you find yourself wondering why you did certain things you did and what would be the situation now if you had done things differently...

In a way, it puts your life into perspective...are things better because you are who you are, or worse?

And, in the end, you are your own judge.
