  3. It's my many years of projects at FLW that make me an authoritative voice on the south-central Missouri dining and lodging scene. We'd actually stay at Zeno's to avoid the awful flophouses outside the main gate in St Robert.

  4. Yeah, that's out at Huachuca [Gesundheit!] now, and the sigint piece, which was probably your thing, is at Meade/NSA. One of my best friends in high school quit the U of I after a few weeks and enlisted, wound up getting 75 weeks of training in Vietnamese at Bliss, then Nam, then Holabird.
