Wrong Idenity
Tom;
I was a year behind you in Manchester Regional HS and a Marine in Vietnam when you were killed. Few people know this: A HS teacher announced your death to the class but was confused and used my name by accident. Several days passed before my parents found out that there was a mistaken idenity. It put my Dad right in the hospital overnight.
One day in Nam I hooked up with 3 of your classmates, (Rich Earnshaw, Billy Eaves and Rich Jarkarski). Wish you could have been there too.
We miss you and you will never be forgottten.
