In the early 70's I traveled the U.S. working odd jobs , to get a feel for what our country was all about. I traveled in an old $150 Ford truck with a homeade " Hong Kong village" camper on back and trusty old German shepherd,Heidi. I worked everywhere they'd have me, including an ironite mine in Arizona and a beautiful Red Angus cattle ranch in Sheridan ,Wy. and a gentleman's farm in Stowe , Vermont. With Heidi gaurding at night I slept well everywhere I went. I miss that dog more than any of my ex wives. Little did I know at the time that I was being prepared for future position as "nuclear nomad". Chris
