I was lucky enough to travel with Jonathan Winters
for a day in the Caribou. He was terrifically funny and a terrific
guy. When we landed at Binh Thuy, the Wing Commander met us at the
aircraft and A.J. Stinson and I deplaned with Jonathan. The Wing
Commander exchanged greetings with Jonathan and told him that he had a
little private champagne party scheduled for him and his troupe.
Jonathan motioned for A.J and I, both Lieutenants, to come along.
The Wing Commander admonished us to stay behind, but Jonathan
immediately said, "these guys are coming with me." He
didn't drink, but we did! |
