DRRonPuliam, I like your beard as well. Who's the lady in the photo?
The lady in the photo is named Cathy. I don't recall her last name.
Odd thing: I was in the Navy, but I was assigned (1973-75) to an Army post in northern Italy...in Vicenza, home of the great architect Andrea Palladio. Vicenza was the network headquarters for Armed Forces Radio in Italy. As the Navy had a strong presence in Naples and Sigonella, it provided two bodies to the radio station. The Air Force also had two bodies there. The Army had six. As a single sailor "detached" from Naples, I was taken care of by the Headquarters company, which consisted of Admin types, payroll clerks, etc. Cathy was a payroll clerk as were most of my Army friends at that time. I hung out with them ALL the time and they were great folks to have fun with, go skiing with -- we had a lot of very inexpensive ski weekends which were hosted by Headquarters company -- $24 for 2 nights, 3 days, including breakfast/dinner and hotel room at key spots in the Italian alps (the Dolomites).
I spent Thanksgiving 1973 in London on a Headquarters company four-day jaunt -- $125 per person included airfare, first-class hotel (three nights), and breakfast. Our hotel bordered Hyde Park (opposite side from the Albert Memorial). We were on the side where folks set up easels, art exhibits and their soapboxes.
