Hello Spence Cason, I was in Can Tho from Oct 66 to Oct67 as a radio repairman for the 525 MI working out of the CRD villa down the street from the police station and across from the cyc-a-low drivers union hall and Thans tailor shop. My meals were mostly from the mess hall on the Eakin Compound and because of the sparate rations allowance I sometimes ate at the Mekong, do you remember the Lobster Thermadore or other exotic fare for a buck or less. You are the rare person who must have heard the same sounds and voices, who experienced and shared what till now seemed lost moments,and without doubt you, as I, often were stopped while crossing the compound by the sounding of evening retreat, two of many that never were aquinted during our time on Eakin Compound, that paused to salute in respect.
