    In 78, the AF colonel still suffered from double vision permanently grounding him from the Vietnamese officers frenzied application of a wooden baton.

    From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was 347FW/DO (F-4Es). Hed spent 6 [product] years in the Hilton the first three of which he was listed as MIA. His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a peace delegation visit.

It was a typical meeting between international visitors and American airmen: low-key, filled with small talk, inquiries from the airmen about particular bits of news and sports from home, conversations about their families, requests to call them and pass on a message.
