BEAT BRIGGS

In 1965, when I was flying over the Mekong River with some friends on the way to Cambodia, there was a guy tagging along by the name of 'BRIGGS' whether or not that was his real name, I can't say for sure, but he kept up a lot of chatter and seemed to be around wherever we set foot and so we took up this cry,'BEAT BRIGGS!' He wanted to know a lot of things that really didn't concern him and also he didn't really need to know and he tried to make it all seem 'casual' if you know what I mean. He thought it strange we were not going to Saigon at the time.
