When I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston (75 to 80), in San Antonio, I called Col. Askins, at his home, one day out of the blue. Had a nice long talk with him and invited him to come out and shoot some skeet at the Ft Sam range. He did come and shoot with us 5 or 6 times.
I had some conversations with him about the border and mostly about our experiences in Viet Nam. He seemed very at ease with us in a military surrounding and we would talk more than we shot.
