My Aunt's boyfriend

Bruce was my Aunt Diane's boyfriend. She died in 2019 and when going through her things we found all the letters they sent each other when Bruce was in Vietnam. Attached is a picture she had of him.

I did not really know you. I wish I had. The world is sadder without you.

Bruce the optimist.

Bruce was home on leave, on his way to Nam. I was on my way to basic training. We got together and he reassured me we would get through all of this war stuff and be back home some day and talking about it. I never saw him again. It's been over 50 years but seems like yesterday. He's been missed by so many people. A really good guy.
