In 1966 I had just come home for a break from Vietnam , some of the neighborhood mob guys took me along to see Sinatra in Vegas . I was introduced to him later at a large party by one of the guys, he told Frank, Charlie is back from Vietnam and heading back again . He shook my hand and I told him we had the same birthday December 12, so we took a picture and he signed it, Frank and Charlie the birthday boys . I got good use out of that picture, I would pull out my wallet in some bar or airport while talking to some woman and kind of accidentally let her see it and they would say OMG you know Frank and I’d say ,well he calls me sometimes lol
