Yesterday I visited the moving wall memorial in my home town, Rochester, N.H. My brother Ron,My sister Judy & her husband Ed,
my wife Tami and my son Wesley and some friends were all their.
It was the first time besides visitng your cemetary memorial that I had a sense of some closure to that terrible war that took you, Tom and many other young friends of ours.
You had many momentos left at your stand.Someone left a young picture of you that brought tears to my eyes.The poem that was read at the ceremony called "There are no purple hearts in heaven" was most moving.I broke down when I read your remembrance in front of your name on that wall.It's been over thirty years since we both parted to Vietnam that day in December promising to see each other again on R&R and home again.I guess at the young age we were ,we felt so industructable.You paid the ultimate price mugsy for our freedom and until we meet again may God be blessing you each and every day. You are every inch a King. Your Friend forever,
Don Ramsey & Family

THE VERY EXTINGUISHED MR MUGGSEY
One of the most vivid recollections I have of "Muggsey" occurred in the fall of 1965. We were riding in the high school football team bus to Keene, NH for a Saturday afternoon football game between St Thomas Aquinas HS and Keene HS. Muggsey was a junior and was scheduled to start that afternoon however, he was more concerned with what was to occur the following Monday. Muggsey was having trouble with his eyes and thought he may need glasses so, as he told anyone who would listen, on Monday he was going to the "Optimist" to get new glasses and then he would look very "extinguished." The entire bus cracked up. From that point on, Mike became the "Very Extinguished Mr. Muggsey."
