Thanks for the update, John, and keep them coming. Sounds very unpleasant, what Mike's going through, yuck. Family certainly can help, though; most of us know that.

Our friend's illness

John Burgess <johnb...@outlook.com>: Jul 12 09:14PM An update on Mike Morrow, provided by his friend Jean Joh.   Dear Friends, Mike's next round of immunotherapy & chemotherapy will begin tomorrow, in addition to radiation therapy 5 days a week for six weeks. His wife Yanzi & daughter Mao Mao will hopefully be joining him soon to help him as he goes through this process. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers, and thanks once again for your generous donations!

Guam-based B52s - another memory.

Carl Robinson <robinso...@gmail.com>: Jul 13 05:34PM +1000 After that personal after the Fall of Saigon post the other day ending up on Guam and bringing my family together, disappointment I wasn't staying in Asia, I thought of this sidebar from earlier stops in Guam on that Pan Am Saigon-Honolulu run -- and on to the West Coast, of course -- which some of you might recall. Those shark fins were damned spooky. A peg for a look back on the old thumpers - and that was a hell of a lot of missions, eh?   https://carlrobinson2.substack.com/p/echoes-from-guam-b-52s-and-the-vietnam   [image: image.png]
