Joe would go on to serve in the Army as a reporter-photographer in Vietnam, 1968-\u00e2\u20ac\u212269, returning to work at the Charlotte Observer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Gaston County bureau, where, the last I heard, my classmate is still holding forth as a much-beloved columnist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A THOUSAND WORDS<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you have an important old photo that you value?
