I was just one of the students of LVC who was also in Bio classes with Jack
and Cliff. The war seemed so far away, yet so near and we were so young and
so frightingly aware of what was going on. Today is Memorial Day. My husband
served too, but he came home. I still ache for Jack and the years of life he
missed.

Jack was my radioman

Jack was a great guy. He was my squad radioman. I loaned him to Lt. Thomas
that week in September because the platoon rto was on R&R. He didn't want to
go at first but then got to liking it because he didn't have to pull guard
duty at night. He thought that was a hoot. He and Lt. Thomas gave me the
thumbs up as they pulled out on that recon mission. I've always wondered if
things would have been different if I hadn't sent Jack to the lieutenant. He
was a great soldier and a good friend. His loss was terrible for all of us.
