Thanksgiving in '85: Giving thanks I was still alive when a good many squadron friends were not.
Thanksgiving in '86: Thankful I had come out of the mountains earlier in the year.
Thanksgiving in '87: Thankful I was somewhere other than Williams, and back in Texas.
Thanksgiving in '88: Thankful I was still running the 335th, and glad to be closer to the Rio Grande
Thanksgiving in '89: Thankful to be back in California, even if the Armistice Flu was going around and flying into Baja just burning gas on CAP.
Thanksgiving in '90: Glad it was all finally over, and back at home station.
