This I received including a picture of you all dressed in full Marine uniform while I was serving the Air Force in Alaska on November 1967. I miss you, we wanted to serve together. The last time I saw you after graduation from High School, you came by with your new Mustang and leaving for the Marines, I was sent to Alaska soon after. You are forever missed.
