    I'm Irish non military and love listening to these but I lived in NewHampshire for about 3 months and didn't want to leave. Definitely an Irish spirit all over the land there.

    At the right places at the right times...
    I sort of had a experience like his at the end in the book.
    Mine was different though.Back in 2002 I had to have back surgery and had a doctor by the name Carroll P Osgood Jr..Had to have a couple discs fused.Then around '06 I was reading a new book I picked up (can't remember the name or author now) of a soldiers time in Vietnam.Somewhere towards the end he was wounded and the Battalion Surgeon who worked on him was the same Carroll P. Osgood Jr. 1st Bn., 35th Inf., 3rd Bde., 25th Inf. Div that later operated on me.
    In 2002 he was still doing meatball surgery for spinal injuries and apparently still looks like he's in practice today but moved onto brain surgery.......He has to be in his 90's.After what he did to me he shouldn't been in practice then.
    Hope that author made out better in the mid/late 60's than I had in 2002,3rd surgery in '15 and it's still awful,think it all stems from his 1 time with a knife in me.Not only the pain and inability to do anything but it looks like I caught a 40mm to the gut that was only supposed to be a 6" incision.I can only imagine how the poor Viets in around Duc Pho fared.

      Good ear. I think you are correct. That accent and slow talk is pretty distinct.
