Niel Diamond, a friendship Remembered

My story begins as ETS'd (End of service time), USAF (United States Air Force), while living in Las Vegas, and continued to live there for another 6 years and older. This would have been in the mid 1980's, and I was anticipating some work to non-Air-Force, if know what I mean: I wanted to put some clothes out in the clothing line a bit more than usual, that's it, let the wind infuse and permeate the fabric, make smell military, not a bad smell, however, just different.
