When I started this blog way back in May of '06, I never realized the extent to which it could enhance my life. Usually it just receives 20 to 30 hits a day, but just last week it got hundreds.
Further investigation revealed that nearly all of them were checking out the pages related to my time in the U.S. Army Security Agency some 50 years ago. As it happened, one vet, Noel Garland of Texas, who happened to be in the same unit with me in 1957-58, came across the blog and told many of his old buddies about it. Now we're e-mailing each other several times a day, comparing notes and photos. Oh, what fun this is! And maybe we'll even get together. Thank you, Noel.

Actually, this happened before in the Fall of '06. On the thread about my experiences working with the noted photographer Richard Avedon I mentioned his use of a particular camera. Someone who posts on a website devoted to that camera saw it, and put a link to mine. The hits came pouring in for a few days.
So now I must get busy and put up more posts that attract people with similar interests, along with old friends, colleagues and acquaintances. And if you see something of interest here, feel free to leave a comment or e-mail me.
{NOTE: as of early 2009 it is getting well over two hundred hits a day. I'm aiming at a thousand}
