You don’t know me but I served with Solomon in Korea in 1955. I have been thinking of Sol for some time but did not know how to get in touch with him. Today I decided to try to contact on Google and low and behold there he was. Sol was a great guy and a friend to all he came in touch with. Sorry I didn’t get to talk to him. Smith Doughty
