Blows through the empty campus
He feels young again
*****
Hello, everyone! It’s the Old Soldier here feeling nostalgic after a nice long walk earlier this afternoon through the campus of the University of Pittsburgh.
The campus was like a ghost town. Well, school is out for the summer and it is Saturday and it is the Memorial Day weekend. And Memorial Day brings back memories, too, for the Old Soldier, of a nineteen-year-old kid on his way to the Vietnam War.
