[AT] Ralph Goff CLOSE THE DOOR

[charliehill]

Yeah now that you've sufficiently jogged my memory I remember you being up 
there.  I have a cousin that was in the Air Force in the late 50's and early 
60's who was up there keeping watch on the Ruskies and have a friend here 
who did the same thing in the Vietnam era.
