Thank you, Ogie..

At UCLA back in the day, I was blessed to have a great roomie and fraternity brother -- Terry Ogami -- who could party til dawn and still make his eight o'clocks. Sadly, Terry's GPA attracted the attention of the local draft board and he ended up in what he liked to call "The Asshole of the World".

Also more sadly, Ogie caught it during a VC ambush in Quang Tri on February 20th, 1968 trying to draw fire while rescuing some buds. He was about two months short of rotating back to the world as the idiom of the day describes it.

His little corner of this heroes' realm is here:

I still miss him -- especially each Memorial Day and each eleventh of November. God bless you and keep you, Terry.
