December 1970, there I was, radio man at LZ Hope (Bob Hope show Danang).  This Phrog drops in the LZ with the Golddiggers (Dean Martin show) and shuts down.  Crew chief door drops down and these absolutely gorgeous creatures start down the steps.  I, being the gentleman that I am, stood at the door and gave them my hand to help them down.  Got one of their photos and had one of them sign it, have kept it since.  Today at the Wall a guys tells me that 2 of the Golddiggers will be there to sign autographs about 12:30 and shows me their picture.  One of them was on that Phrog 38 year ago.  I told her about the photo and that I will bring it back tomorrow and she is going to sign it for me.  I am in heaven man!!!!

 When you got it you got it!

I guess I'm wondering what she looks like after 38 years.......

Freakin wingers!

 Do I hear wedding bells?

If she's still a hottie.....hell, I don't have to tell you! 

Folks, I don't know what this lady did to take care of herself over the last 38 years, but she is most definitely STILL a hottie!

D-A-M-N !!!!

You struck G-O-L-D!!!............DOES SHE HAVE A DAUGHTER?

Larry sent me this follow-up email after he sent me the pic to post. I told him I'd copy and paste it here to save him having to retype it here.

It all started when I went down to the Point Man Ministries to say "Hi" like always.  On the way back, outside the VVA hootch was a picture of 2 "Gold Diggers" who were going to be there to sign autographs.  I told them that I knew one of them from Viet Nam and they did not believe me.  They told me they were going to bring here over to the hootch later.  She came by, I told her about that day and told her about the photo that I had from that day.  She told me to bring it in and she would autograph if for me - 38 years later.  The guys in the hootch were jealous!!!  When she saw the photo all she could say was "You kept this for all these years?"  I told her that I was 20 years old and a long way from home and I most certainly was going to remember a gorgeous looking thing like herself.  We are holding that photo - it was one of their hand outs for the troops.  She is coming tomorrow to present the Memorial Wreath for us at the Wall.  She has made my week-end.

She sure is pretty and you are one lucky son-of-a-gun!

 I RECOGNIZE HER!!

I was just a kid, but your standard red blooded American male, but I had a crush on her!  I always hoped she'd show up in my class room and take me away from everything.

She's still a hottie!!!  Think she might like me now????? 

We were on patrol, while the bigshots got to see the roundeyes! @#$#%^%$
