Just found your memorial. Glad we got to talk before you shipped out. I had just returned from my tour in the infantry. I'll remember the times we spent "cruising" Totes, Steak N Shake and talking cars. Took leave to attend your return from VN. I think about that sometimes ... miss ya. I found you on THE WALL some years back. It was tough seeing you there. Took a rubbing of your name but would have much rather had you there looking at THE WALL with me. Can't get myself to revisit that chunk of granite. I hope you understand.

Thank you, my friend, for your sacrifice.
Gil
