Circa 1974...no perm, just real...
View attachment 3170838
1969. First summer after high school. Working hard at the docks, loading drill stem, piping and drilling mud for offshore drilling platforms. Saving every penny to get ready for college. No perm. Just lots of sun and sweat!

That's great! Two very good organizations that are great to help in any way. Just the fact that they give a place for NAVETS... I mean GOFVETS a place to hang out, have a meal, chat, etc. is really a very good and needed avenue. Viet Nam vets really need comoradity now, especially those who suffer emotional wounds. It's up to those who are less wounded and the younger vets to keep it alive. The public going to bigno, to eat, anything helps.
TBH, it often bothers me that we Viet-era vets weren't given the respect that the current guys get-But-at least They get well deserved respect. B/c I wasn't in country, I don't exactly consider myself a "Vietnam" vet although we(our Navy shipboard band)tried to do a tour of some bases. We never got approval but the band on the carrier that replaced ours did get approval and made a 6 week tour-and got berets to wear with their uniforms.
 
Great pic and hair! Damn, look at the determination in those eyes! Love it!

Uh, ...er, . . . Yeah, determination! That's it! (Actually, indignation that my paparazzi-mom burst into my room with a camera 'cause she heard me singing and playing. This is just before I yelled, "Mo-o-om!") Very determined! Grrrr! The flash really washed out my dark, for me, tan at the time.

Honesty is Not always the best policy-funny as hell though.
