As a country boy from small town Idaho, I was finishing out my tour at Hood back in 1970. Stopped one day at the RattleSnake Inn for a cool one. The place was a lot like what I was used to back home. We only had one bar. Made several stops there during that year of my life. The tender was always friendly, and polite. I'm sure he saw his fair share of big city soldiers, but he was always kind to me. Don't know his name, probably never asked. Of my many memories of those days, somehow the RattleSnake Inn always comes back. Many thanks from an old Vet.. I hope you always retain that small town friendliness.....
