OCS Class Member

As far as I know, Ollie was the only member of our class at Engineer Officer Candidate School (Class 27-67) to lose his life in Vietnam. Our OSC program lasted for 23 weeks, from February to August 4, 1967, when we graduated. My recollection is that he was always prepared, ready for inspections, intelligent, physically and mentally fit, friendly and a real straight arrow. He would have been a great leader in tough situations. So sorry for his family's loss.
