that should have read you in the left back seat & & David Wire in the right back seat.

I remember us going down I-35 at about 0200 one night. Donnie in front & you & David Wire in the left back seat, me driving.
Lanier High School classmates. I was in NAM' also, albeit 1967. Gonna miss ya buddy. You & others like you were the true
heroes.

I served with Bill in 3/5 Cav 9th Infantry Division. I last saw him the evening of April 29th, 1968. I was leaving the field near Quang Tri to return to base camp Bearcat to begin my trip back home. He heard I was leaving and came to say goodbye. He gave me a note to give to his father when I got home to Austin,Tx. He was wounded the morning of April 30, 1968. When I arrived home in Austin, I learned that he had died.
