Your story reminds me of a guy I knew down in Tarpon Springs back in 78.
He was a Vietnam Vet named Barry.
He was a real help to me after I tumbled over the side of a pickup truck costing me the loss of a lot of skin.
Try to put Barry into words, hmmmm.
Yeah, not so easy! Barry was a great guy who you could never find but if you thought real hard about him he’d show up in a few days, weird stuff but
cool!
Barry had a small airfield hid dad left him and one day he took us out to show us how to find mushrooms and he found a huge one near a big ole pile of
cattle droppings in a clump of trees.
The last I ever saw of Barry was him running like a dear across the field towards a hanger.
Somehow he’d lost his cut-off jeans which was all he ever wore so he was as brown as a white boy could be.
I’ll never forget that glowing white tail of his as he hauled ass across that field.
Barry was a great guy, I’ll bet his life stayed as nutty and fun as it seemed to be the day we met him.
