Route 30 curved endlessly along the banks of the Pepacton Reservoir. Joe had the highest entrance score they'd ever recorded in that Air Force tech school. Sergeant Quimby told him, reading it, unbelieving. Joe was an athlete, a most likely to succeed guy; yet there he was every weekend in the BX with Shannon, fascinated by the aging bus boy loading his cart. And Shannon?
It was like graduating again; his mind was free to drift forward. At tech school in the Air Force, he used to spend Friday and Saturday nights in the BX with a guy named Shannon.
