Remembering Baltimore and Fort Holabird

As the wife and I sit in California awaiting the start of the Preakness, my thoughts drift back to 1969 and those days when I first entered the Army. After finishing basic training at Ft Dix in New Jersey that March, I reported to Ft Holabird, the US Army's Military Intelligence School located in the gritty Dundalk area of Baltimore.

I was at Ft Holabird that spring from the end of March to the end of May taking an Intelligence Analyst course. We had some great Marines in our class as well, and one weekend we got into a brawl on the softball field playing members of another class. I remember the gritty sports bars in the area, Colgate Creek, going to Pimlico and the Preakness, seeing the Orioles and many wonderful ballplayers they had (including Brooks Robinson), going to a Jimi Hendrix concert, the EM club and the famous pig sisters.

Next stop: Vietnam.

The Prekness always brings these memories back, every year.

Sokhna Trip 2010

Johnny Miller at the 2010 Players Championship

After Tim Clark hit driver off the 14th tee, Johnny Miller said this about his blind second shot from that location, "You gotta be smoking something to go at that pin." Clark did, and hit a brilliant shot to 18 feet to make par.

Four Frames

No person living or dead, has ever captured the heart and soul of America in four frames the way Garry Trudeau has for so many years in his classic strip, 'Doonesbury'. Piquant and succinct, eloquent and expansive, unyielding in his defense of every person standing up to arrogance and intimidation, his warm heart and manifold spirit provide the echo in the darkness that helps me through many a depressing day.

Thank you.
