I never told anyone what I did in Vietnam. Some new I flew helicopters but that was about all. I had PTSD problems that kept me from wanting to remember my past and I just tried running away from it. I told my new son in-law about about Jeff Throneberry and I riding motorcycles across the US and he said it was preposterous, that no one would do such a thing. I told Jeff and he said, lets write it down, you tell your side and I will tell mine. So we wrote "In Country R&R". I felt a inner peace, even after all these years. I asked my wife if she minded me writing down my story that would include some females I had never told her about. Mollie said that as long as she was my last encounter, she did not care about my previous relationships with other women. So I have written this manly to get my past off my back. So now you can decide if I got lucky or not.
