February 1966
It was the same day U.S. Vice President Hubert Humphrey visited Bangkok, when I arrived for a week's "Rest and Recuperation (R+R)." The airport was on high alert. Our plane parked at the end of the runway.
We were handed our luggage and pointed in the direction of the horizon where the terminal building should become visible.
That long hike on the runway pavement.... let's just say hot enough to fry bacon.

By the time I reached the terminal I was as wet from sweat as if I had taken a hot shower with my clothes on.
