and he is working at the wounded warriors clinic in san antonio, texas. and the reason he called was he had chewbacca (peter mayhew) from "star wars" with him. so i got to talk to him for about 2 minutes. told him i had the original "star wars" and liked it better than the remake, even with all its mistakes. and thanked him for making an appearance for the troops. a true huggie toes moment. ![]() chris is sending pics of him and our grandson jeremiah with chewie so i will Post them when i get them. pattie anne

It runs in my mind that Mayhew was a medic before Star Wars, so probably feels an extra understanding of the sick and wounded - thanks for sharing a neat story. |

peter told me on the phone chris had a special photo just for me. and chris said he had several others, as well as someone in the clinic took photos of him and our grandson and peter and his wife. but the down side is chris said his scanner wasn't working so i won't see any of them until he comes home on leave for the 4th of july. (even the "pattie anne" one!). so we have to wait a bit. [though, thought about telling him to send the photos and he could have them back (all but the one) when he came home!] and we are very proud of our son. he has been a combat medic for almost 26 years. was in Desert Shield/Desert Storm/Korea during the Olympics there, and in the very last MASH unit, when the army disbanded them; so he will have a bunch of war stories to tell his "grandchildren" one day. and he is supposed to retire next year, but i have heard THAT little song and dance tune before. what can i say? he loves his job.
