Thoughts
When visiting Pat and Bruce after Bruce was sick I'll always remember when he came home one afternoon smiling broadly and lifting a beautiful putter in the air. He said he had been looking at it for a while up at the clubhouse. He laughed and said it was more than he wanted to spend. He just grinned more and said he just played the "C" card and they gave him the putter. He sure kept his sense of humor.

When Bruce was really sick, I spent an extended time with him and Pat. I guess I felt pretty close when one day at the hospital the nurse came in and looked at me and said maybe I should wait in the hall. Bruce just spoke up and said no, she has seen it already. Well I'm not sure when but we were buds by this time.

He never talked about Vietnam until one night about one in the morning he came down to the beach and we sat and he began remembering things about Nam. He said he could never get over how one night he could be in a city hotel with satin sheets and then the next be elsewhere where he needed to scope the roaches out of the sink so he could get washed up. This war or world didn't make sense to him--me either.
