From Somerset Kentucky, I was a Navy sonar technician on a destroyer that was in combat in the Tonkin Gulf during the Viet Nam American War Era. I have my "TIN CAN" novel for sale at http://amazon.com/author/allenmeece   
     Also there is the finest poetry collection in America. Bold, clear and accessible poetry, not airy fairy introspection but necessary observations of what's going on that every adolescent should read as a life primer. It is called "Drifting in Paradise" which we all do most of the time.
