Hello there

Now I fully understand why I received the request on "Charlie's Angels" from another forummner whom mistook me for a much senior forummner.

Walking down memory's lane remembering when I was there on my first business canvassing trip in 1982, the biggest note issued was only a 100 dong and nothing above that. Walking around was a life threatening affair as you can see rifles totting communists around you all the time.

Yours truly VietSing
