    Yes sir. Hack and I used to exchange emails when he was still alive. I sent him an SLA Marshall Book "Battles in the Monsoon" that had his photo and some stories in it, somewhere around here I have a personal letter from Hack on his "Twin Eagles" letterhead thanking me for the book. He was one cool dude I would laugh out loud as some of his emails. He had 8 purple hearts and 11? silver stars, 3 or so DSCs. He had balls the size of grapefruit. He told the truth and the Army didn't like honesty.
