Does anybody know what happened to my ol buddy?  He visited me once in California, but never heard from him since then.   Then I see his name on this list.   Would like to know details. 

Thanks

My recollection is that he was killed in a non combat accident while in the Army.  It was about 3 years after high school.  He was a great guy, lot of fun and we were on cross country and track together.  We would go down to his old neighborhood in Old Town and hang out with some of his buddies. Only the good die young.

How sad.  So many of our peers were lost then.  So many struggle now.

He was a great guy. We were both on the junior year tour to DC. He is on the panoramic picture twice, both ends. He was able to duck and run behind the rest of us and do double duty.
