Maybe 1980 or 1981? Maybe 79. Nope 1981. We were there the day Harry
Chapin died.

Some really good highlights in my memory from that week.

* necked with a girl I had never met before (coming from a small town,
this was BIG)
* found a grenade under the tent
* was held at gunpoint (uzis) by the King of Sweden's  bodyguards
* came within 15 degrees of being killed by a landmine/frisbee (still
a bit scary to remember)
* watched the Oak Ridge Boys warm up, singing Harry Chapin songs,
crying and sipping whiskey
* became a hero when I procured a keg or beer and a golf cart.
* made like $300 selling old patches (that I had bought at a yard sale)
