Interesting read Ozz
specially:
"We were so amazed on how friendly Texas is---"
We first experienced this in 1970 when Al was based in San Angelo, we had a little dude about 13 months old and another on the way, and well, we kinda had an accident.
Our landlord took Al to the base for several weeks, every day he had class/duty, while our car was being repaired.
We were there for 6 months, our second son was born there, he loves telling everyone he was born in Texas!
When that little one was 6 weeks old, tour at San Angelo was over, and we headed back to Michigan for R&R and the holidays. The very first thing I noticed when we got back here, was how rude Michiganders were when you compared them to Texans.
Probably an unfair comparison!
Texas shoooooo is friendly!!
Got good food too!
