I shared literally well over a thousand cups of coffee with this fine Marine and I appreciate his determination to do what was requested of him.  He shared the story with me that when Ardell was on KP duty, his assignment was to make iced tea for the company.  He took the job seriously enough that when he couldn't find a strainer for the tea leaves, he took off his T-shirt and saved the day for all the tea-drinkers in his unit.  Of course, no one was aware of what happened and he would never fess up, but I truly wonder if that was the underlying reason we never drank tea together!!!  When we get to heaven, let's ask him.  He will be there.
