in 1951 in area 51 playing
gin with Chuck Yeager

guarding U2 the craft that
from 65 thousand feet
took a coat pin picture

flew first class from the
east coast to California next
to a little known Liberace

drafted years before running with
Vic Damone and Robert Loggia
at Fort Dix New Jersey 

then joined the CIA when it
was cool to die for country
