I was right between you and him on the line.

I recall that very clearly. Once they had him loaded up and headed out, it took a few for me to gather myself. Several of the guys helped quickly load my gear and we gathered in a circle, held hands and you prayed again for Hoot. Prayers work!

I wasn't sure how I would be looked upon by the group the next year, there was never any mention of it made as if it never happened. As I put Clarksville in my rearview mirror that Sunday heading back home, I thanked God and had never dreamed I would ever be a part of such great men. I'm sure he will pass your message along to Miss Tywla.
