How to NOT play basketball during the rainy season in Vietnam

 

1970, Quang Tri.

A few Grammer reminders

 Spotted this today...one of the most frequent grammatical errors I see regularly:

"....there's a number of things you can do..."

"THERE'S" is an abbreviation for THERE IS...and it is an error when the subject of the verb is a singular noun.

=======================================

 

Early AFVN/Quang Tri, Vietnam, encampment

 The first building, with a jeep and the truck containing the guts of the TV station, and a tower. Year unknown.

Much later, 1970 or so, with several buildings, including out "studio, on the left.


Here's a shot with me at the "desk" in the studio. Pretty basic, but it allowed us to air a 15 minute newscast each evening.
