Cat Lo : A Memoir of Invincible Youth
Cat Lo, a memoir of invincible youth
Cat Lo is a story of young men who volunteer for Swift Boats in Vietnam and about war's indelible lesson for those who survive: life is too precious to waste.
Thirty-six years after Vietnam, Virg Erwin sits with a disfigured marine convalescing from Iraq and asks, "Do you want to talk about it?" It is a question no one has ever asked Erwin. "It was hard to know who were civilians- who were bad guys," the marine says as he describes being caught in a violent ambush.
For Erwin, the marine's story resurrects memories of sailors patrolling narrow rivers and canals, their naive sense of invincibility shattered by Viet Cong patiently waiting in bunkers with rockets. Cat Lois about conflict of compassion for the South Vietnamese who are caught in the middle of war without option of neutrality, and confusion by the question: Who is the enemy and who is not?
Virgil Erwin enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1963, received his Bachelors Degree from Western State College in Colorado and commissioned an ensign in 1966 after graduating from the Naval Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island.

Erwin retired after thirty-six years of corporate life as Vice President of Sales at Entegris Corp.

Reviews for "Piff the Magic Dragon: The Comedic Magician That Will Leave You Spellbound"
1. John - 1/5 stars - This magic performance was a complete disappointment. Piff the magic dragon lacked any kind of originality and the tricks were so basic that I could see through them a mile away. The jokes were also incredibly stale and not at all funny. I was expecting to be mesmerized by the magic, but instead, I found myself bored and unimpressed. I do not recommend wasting your time or money on this show.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for Piff the magic dragon's performance, but I left feeling underwhelmed. The tricks were predictable, and it felt like I had seen them all before. Piff's stage presence was lackluster, and it seemed like he didn't even want to be there. The humor was also hit or miss, with most of the jokes falling flat. Overall, I was not mesmerized nor entertained by this show, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
3. Michelle - 2/5 stars - Piff the magic dragon's performance was nothing more than average. While the costumes and set design were visually appealing, the tricks themselves were nothing special. There was no wow factor or mind-bending illusions that I was expecting. Piff's banter with the audience was also quite dull and felt forced at times. I was hoping to be enchanted by his mesmerizing magic, but unfortunately, I was left unimpressed. It's not a terrible show, but I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again.
