    Any particular reason you want to talk about him? I knew him when . . .

    He was our CO or perhaps DO and he was at our house for a meal. The pictures don''t do him justice because about the only thinkg I remember about him was that he was annointed and was good-looking - compared to most of the COs and DOs we had. He was also much younger than most.

    What I di remember was not so much what I thought but how I felt. I got a very negative feeling from him. Not that he was projecting one but just my gut told me there was something "off" Still can't explain it though
