Good Friend

AD, when you sold me your red '68 VW at the end of TBS and I headed off to flight school, I was cautiously optimistic that we would see each other again. Sadly, It wasn't meant to be... You should know, however, that you were always in that car with me in spirit. You should know that we shared some fun and sometimes wild times, especially when we took the 'bug' down to Mexico on my way out to MCAS El Toro. Later, Your spirit was with me and Cathy on our wedding day as we drove away from church in your old Volkswagen. I'm looking at the reception photo right now. We're all in the VW, happy and smiling. Benny, I believe that I will eventually see you again. Others, including 1st platoon's Dave Blakely, will be there too. What a great day that will be with lots of story telling and lots of laughs. Until then, rest in peace Marine.



Semper Fi, Bill ...369

Great Friend

We went to college together, ran together, crossed the country and roomed together. AD was the most outstanding person I ever met. My family and I put him on the plane to Nam and when we lost him, I named my son after him....I miss him very much.
