Started in TX at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, then supply specialist school at Amarillo AFB. The remainder of my career was at Evreux-Fauville AFB in France. Sixty miles from Paris . . . a great assignment for a kid from a small town in PA!

Fortunately my TDY posting was during the spring and summer. So it was quite warm with only one heavy jacket required mid-day.

This "southern boy" spent the first 19 years of his life in the Eire-Ontario snow belt. That was plenty, thank you very much. And if you want to talk tough, come on down to New Orleans in August.

I spent a summer in Columbia SC. thank you.
That experience baked enough humidity into me for life.
I've been in Tampa in August, during a tropical storm.
I'll keep my pale white butt in the cooler climes.
