In an effort to remember a dear friend ... an 'adopted' cousin. I reflect on my loss of you, Ronnie. Your death was uncalled for. You were killed at age 20 after being in Vietnam for just 3 months, dying on New Year's Day, 1968. Your other buddy Tim McGovern was with me at your funeral. He joined the service immediately afterward. He made it back. Maybe you helped. I think often of the times we had and the trouble we got into. I wish we had the time to speak, laugh and 'repent' over those times we all had. Too short.
From a friend, |
