I flew straight to Los Angeles, California after I got out the Navy, Redondo Beach actually. When I got there, I was staying with my brother and two other guys from my hometown. It was a day I’ll never forget because less than 2 hours after my friend, Django picked me up from LAX, we went to visit a girl I’d known since middle school who put 2 hits of
