OK, last night arrangements were made to meet with Major Tha at 0900 tomorrow. That is welcome news to me. Thong and I will soon take the bus to Nha Trang, which involves a 10-hour trip. But, you actually lie back on a bed of sorts, which is very comfortable...A/C and all.
So, tomorrow morning will involve session #2 with former NVA officer Major Tha. I have photos of Lt. Kimball to share with the Major. Two photos, sent to me by Jim Stone (Stoney), were taken in Vietnam. The others were provided by Lt. Kimball's wife and nephews and were taken with the Lt. in uniform with his wife and family members. I will also be giving him items provided by the 196th LIB Organization.
BREAKING NEWS: Thong just arrived, announcing that he has just received a call from Major Tha.
The meeting will take place tomorrow at 0900, as planned. But, there will be about 15 former NVA soldiers, government officials, and a cameraman. This will not be a "public display", as planned before. Rather, this will take place at Major Tha's house...informal. This is a major success. I envision Major Tha relinquishing Lt. Kimball's razor during this meeting. He is 88 years old and I am his only former enemy contact. This is going to happen.
OK, I must get going and catch that bus to Nha Trang. Oh, we'll be making 6 pig deliveries and 5 (50 each) duck deliveries in the Hue area. Khanh is taking care of details...great guy. Visits to Lady The, Duong, and Thua will happen prior.
