  1. My brother Joey used to tell a story:

     

    There was a village they would be ordered to burn down. It was a regular event. So they would go in a couple of hours ahead of time and warn people that they would be doing so in order that they could take their valuables out of their hut.

     

    There was this one old lady who felt nothing was more valuable than her hut. So she took her extra straw and stacked it away from the huts on the edge of the woods. A little while later they torched the huts.... unfortunately the fire leapt to the old woman's straw and it too burned.

     

    There are so many morals that can be applied to this story. However, to me, it explains why a Vietnamese woman might give an American soldier the finger.

    I was not sure if I had found the right "Joe Baker" until I saw this. I miss your mom. God, I cannot even imagine a number for how many times she took us to the beach! I just wish I had gotten the chance to see her before that last time. She was a classy lady. My mom passed away in May. Not fun, is it? It does not matter how young they are, it hurts.

     

    Love,
