Hi Don,

Yeah, that's about right. I gave a brief presentation to my daughter's 8th grade classes last Friday before their Veteran's Day assembly/celebration. I wore my (ratty-looking) field jacket, and demonstrated how my web belt was now six inches too short. In 1970, I was 155 lbs and I'm 205 lbs now.

My uniforms hung in a plastic bag in my closet for a VERY long time, but I donated both sets to Goodwill about 30 years ago, knowing I'd never fit into them again. Kind of wish I hadn't now, oh well...

Semper fi,

Harry
