I think of myself as the Forrest Gump of Korea.
During five tours, starting in 1968 and ending in 1986, I stumbled into such a vast array of experiences that it provided me, I believe, with a unique view of not only the secretive and insular life of the 8th United States Army but more importantly an insight into how we lowly enlisted G.I.s interacted ― and often clashed ― with the broader Korean culture.

Directors of the Napa Valley Expoâs largest spectator attraction will extend a helping hand to a fairground authority stripped nearly bare of moneymaking events by the coronavirus pandemic.
Board members of the state-operated Expo on Tuesday morning accepted an earlier-than-scheduled $199,679 payment from Latitude 38 Entertainment, which produces the BottleRock music festival that draws about 120,000 people annually. The original payment date was tied to BottleRockâs normal late-May schedule, which was postponed to the first weekend in September because of continuing COVID-19 safety restrictions, according to board president John Dunbar.
The date of the advance payment, part of an agreement that provides the fair authority more than $800,000 a year, is to be decided later after talks between the Expo and Latitude 38, Dunbar said later Tuesday.
