With Nicole, Raquel Ramsey and Colonel Edwin Price Ramsey, who led the last cavalry charge in American history against the Japanese in 1942 - then stayed behind in the occupied Philippines to raise a guerrilla army and harass the enemy until MacArthur could return. (Nicole blinked in the glare of all those medals).
With war hero Oliver North and Republican icon, Christopher Cox.
Fighter pilot and film star Richard Arlen. His style and his stories made acting look and sound fascinating. His son Rick is still a pal fifty years down the road.
