Sam was a great friend. Worked with him 363rd CRS Shaw AFB. Remembered his name after all these years, and looking up old friends. I do recall Card games at the hydrazine plant and many other good times. Those days, not many there to actually do the job they volunteered for, Not Sam, I could always depend on him for help.
