Jerry and a bunch of us from North East used to play baseball on the fields
behind Heard Memorial School in North East. He was a good pitcher and taught me
to throw a better curve ball. I still think of Jerry often.

Jerry and I took AIT at Ft. Knox together and was surprised when we both
were assigned to K Troop in Sept. of 1968. On the date of his death, he
had returned to our Area of Operation and the chopper put down near my track.
I greeted him and he hopped on board. He was returning from being
wounded and was still bandaged up. He ask me to take him to his platoon
location which I did. I heard later on that day that he was one of the
three K Troopers KIA.

I will never forget this day and the sight of you three laying on the ground. I only
wish that I could have spared the end results.

Gerald and myself arrived in country on the same day. Six of us came together, only three
of us returned. Gerald was a great guy and missed everyday.

Jerry: I remember when you came back to K Troop after being wounded. The
chopper landed and you got on my track where I took you to your platoon. Hours later
after a battle, I learned that you had been killed. I still today blame myself for
being a part of you dying. I wished I'd not taken you to your platoon that day.
Your buddy.
