    This guy had the perfect personality for a mission like this. Tough as nails. He had some incredible stories (not just the beatings). You could make a movie out of his mission experience.
    I know only 2 people who served in Bulgaria. Both were beaten on their missions (which were 15 years apart).

      As a kid we lived in Yalova/Karamusel Turkey for 2 years. I was baptized in Lake Iznik, by the ancient city of Nicaea. I can still smell the ekmek.
      What was your family doing over there?

        My Dad was in the Air Force. Was stationed at Karamursel, a sensitive listening post monitoring the Russians. Good old Cold War stuff.
