July 23, 1970; 1145 hoursMortar rounds rained down on us continuously, starting at sunrise. We hadn't slept the previous night because the business of life and death were upon us. Now those mortar rounds were erupting like little volcanoes. But instead of hot lava rocks, they were hot pieces of shrapnel that whizzed by us in every direction. RPG's, 75mm recoilless rounds joined in the endless phalanx. Rounds from the NVA's 51 caliber heavy machine guns and small arms fire from AK-47s were as constant as a swarm of bees flying past our heads, and eating up the hill around us. It was if the Gates of Hell had opened to advertise that we were now open for business.Sappers and a large number of enemy troops had penetrated our perimeter and had overrun the CP like a colony of angry, red army ants. Colonel Lucas was killed instantly.The last of our platoon fought valiantly, firing continuously in a rearward action, leapfrogging toward the LZ to get on one of the last choppers off of Ripcord. We fought hard making our way through the thick haze of cordite smoke that was tearing up my eyes and burning my throat.Then word came down that we were giving up the firebase.THIS IS A STORY OF FIRE-BASE RIPCORD IN THE A SHAU VALLEY OF VIETNAM. THIS STORY MUST BE TOLD!

A trip back to the era of troubled teens and awesome soundtracks; of Reagan, rap, and Ridgemont High; of MTV, VHS and "Axel F"; of outsiders, lost boys, and dead poets; of Bill and Ted, Brooke Shields, and the Brat Pack; of three Porky's, two Coreys, and one summer when everyone called her Baby.

""Beneath the deadly dull history of Ontario lies a myriad of fascinating, but little-known stories. Did you know: Sir John A. Macdonald was born in an Ontario town, not in Scotland? Karl Marx was once a visitor to Toronto? The famous poet W.B. Yeats graced the town of Captainstone, Ontario, with a visit in 1933? There was an active volcano in Ontario in 1886? ""The book is accompanied by an important caveat: All of these stories are fictitious. ""'The book is rather hard to characterize,' said MacGillivary, a professor at the University of Waterloo. 'It doesn't fit into any particular genre. It is best described as a ""myth imitation."" What I am doing here is inventing myths about the history of Ontario, where the facts are almost entirely false but the emotions are real.' ""The book, a humorous romp through the history of Ontario, distills the character of Ontario out of the approximately 120 short vignettes taken, supposedly, from local histories and reminiscences, all of which are fictitious.""- Anne Marie Goetz, Whig-Standard Staff Writer
