RM1 Walter Klutz

Memories
Plaza Hotel - First quarters after arriving in-country, Oct 1967.  Sixth floor. Elevator never worked.  Requested TDY orders to CRB as TTY repairman, once TET festivities cooled down. CQ in lobby during most of TET. Not much fun.  I quit making jokes about Army legs, after that business.
