Description
The time is September- December 1966, the place is Central California, east of San Francisco. The photos are from Richard L. Creaghe, recently deployed to Vietnam; the letters to RLC are from Kathy Crone to her brand new swain RLC. The themes in this drama are fidelity, trust, anger, lust, and all the prosaic little forces that play upon lives
RLC is one of 3 long time best friends. Vietnam is happening and RLC and one friend are drafted into the army- R is deployed to Vietnam & his friend to Germany; the 3rd friend D----- is still home alone and putting moves on Kathy while her boyfriend, and his buddy is off in Vietnam.
The plot thickens. Kathy's best friend Anna loves D, but is spurned by him (he's trying to woo Kathy), a disgruntled Anna then puts long distance moves on RLC (through letters to him) in Vietnam. Kathy now is turning eighteen, doing well in school and has just gotten a waitressing job at the local drive-in, when she's confronted with her mother's family drama. Mother is drinking heavily again because step dad has been running around. This is a 2nd marriage for mom, and Kathy swears she'll leave home if her mom separates again. As this drama is unfolding mom &step dad move their family trailer to another site in the trailer park, with mom still talking of moving into town. D is squiring Kathy about- movies, fast rides on his bike.

Kathy asks 'what's VD', and is sympathetic to this Vietnamese girlfriend because in a few months Richard's tour will end and she & he will once again be together - 'this time forever'.
