Thank You Mr. Pelton and especially for your Great Works...BTW Today is Bastille Day and like my Brother Rich found out in 1972 whilst on a EURAIL Tour of Europe when in Paris everything shuts down and you can't even get a Taxi to save your life....
Also when he was on a Spring Break Road Trip of Florida, him and his buddies met a Veteran of Le Legion Etrange who was there for Act One of the Vietnam War (1947-54) during a Breakfast at a Howard Johnson's. Said gentleman was captured by the Viet Minh and subjected to having Bamboo Shoved under his fingernails to make him reveal where his Unit was at the time. He refused to talk since he knew his Unit was close by and was ready to attack said position. When his Unit came in with guns Blazing his Capitane turned a blind eye as he dealt with his gracious hosts in a most graphic manner.......(Let your own respective minds paint the picture of that)
Final note My Brother and his friends were about to be thrown out of the Hojo's for their Long Hair (This was still the Early 70's) when Mr. Legion Etrange spoke up and said they were his Guests and any further attempts would be taken personally by him. The Management was suddenly Warm and Receptive....
