35 Life History --- Touring London

Garrett stayed an extra six months in Viet Nam. As a reward he was allowed to hop Army
planes and ride to wherever he wanted for a month. He chose to tour Europe.
This is the first stop on his tour. Garrett spent a week in London.

Heathrow Airport

I saw a play, “Fiddler on the Roof”, visited Stratford on Avon, and other London sights before riding the ferry across the channel and taking the train to Paris.  I rode the subway a lot in both London and Paris.

40 Life History --- 1970 Trip Home After Touring Europe While Serving in Vietnam; Last Assignment in Vietnam

I took my return journey through Paris and London, flew to Philadelphia, visited the folks in Akron, flew thru Anchorage, Hawaii, Cam Ranh Bay, and back to Don Duong in Vietnam.  After a few more months there, I spent my last couple months at Phu Bai near the ancient imperial capital of Hue.

41 Life History --- Last Army assignment - Stationed Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri

I spent the last nine months of my military career at Fort Leonard Wood Missouri, in charge of an engineering heavy equipment training company.  We trained operators for forklifts, road graders, bulldozers, and earth movers.  I also took a drafting course.  I attended church at Springfield several times and renewed old acquaintances.  I started orthodontic treatments at Springfield, and then continued the treatments at the Fort Leonard Wood hospital after learning that they had a resident orthodontist.
