Catching up with my old Boss
Tonight I spent nearly an hour on the phone with Col. Rich Goldsmith, retired.  In 1977-78 Rich commanded 1st Battalion, 70th Armor, 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Wiesbaden, West Germany. I was a tank commander in B company during that time. It was a lot of fun to catch up on what he is doing and fill him in what's been going on with me and my family.  He sounds the same.  I hope we can meet in person when his travels take him to the North, or I get to Alabama--which will be my first trip.
