(Johnny with AnnMargret - Leaving Los Angeles for Saigon in 1966) 

6/13/99 Dear Johnny Rivers;                "I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the performance you gave to a bunch of young men on MONKEY MOUNTAIN outside Da Nang, Vietnam in 1966.  You allowed us to forget our misery and hell for awhile.  Great show!  Thanks for giving us your time and talent.  Thirty-three years later I'll be enjoying your show tonight with my wife."                                                                              Thanks again,                                                                               Jim Henderson                                                                              Chattanooga, TN

Dear J.R.;           "Do you remember Nha Trang, Vietnam?  I saw you and Ann-Margret there in 1966 I think.  I caught a flight out of Ankhe to Nha Trang just to see that show.  I served with the 1st Cav. Division 1965-67.  What do you do these days?  Best to you, pal."                                                                              Ernest Quinn, Kensington, GA

"I had the pleasure of meeting you in 1966, after a great performance in Da Nang, Vietnam.  You honored us with a visit at the enlisted club for a few drinks after your show.  You autographed Vietnamese currency for me.  Thank you for that....."                                                                             Tim Savage, 3rd Bn 4th Marines/Vietnam '66

"I want to thank you, belated kind of, for the great show you put on for our team in Vietnam in '65-'66.  Ann-Margret was good with you.  Have a good one, always."                                                                             -M.A.C., BacLieuRun '65-'66

It's always nice to hear from my friends who saw me perform in Vietnam.  Please write to us at Soul City, and we'll post your comments here!
