I guess you don't have to be CID to pick up that clue!
Was with a small group that included Lucien for an evening in NYC a number of years ago--and he definitely is a party hard type--it isn't just the passage of time that makes my memory a little fuzzy about that event.
Archy, I hope you didn't get my earlier post wrong--I suspect Truscott is on target with his observations--my comments were directed at another poster who took an unsupported swipe at our junior officers fighting in Iraq.
And good job with the 502d crest--both the official and unofficial one.
I realize that. And I'm not surprised you've partied with him either; should the chance come up again, casually drop in the mention that you've got a pal who plays a nice banjo version of *Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.... and see what kind of result you get.
IMHO, he's probably about as knowledgable a reporter on what's going on as Charlie Black from the Columbus Enquirer was. Not quite an Ernie Pyle or Cathy Leroy, but close.
