General Note
Dick - this is a wonderfully natural picture of you and Bob Tully - as if you have just bitten off the tip of your cigar! Love you, B.K.

Dear General Knowles,
Somewhat late, but here's that super photo of you + Bob Tully back. Those were the days.
Julie and I continue to live in 2 places. I leave on foot for Alabama. Back out here Feb + March to ski + take care of the horse. Joe Galloway + I had a great 4 days at Dien Bien Phu last oct. Having walked that ground + seen it from the air, I am evermore astonished at the arrangement, stupidity of Gen Navaree, the top French CD=dr. in Vietnam '53-'54. I have returned to V/N 7 times since 1990 on research trips; to the la Drang in'93 +'97. Not much change. VN occupied. The Viets are very sensitive about that. Hope all is well with you and Betty. Very respectfully - Hal
