Fort Sill

Bill and I were in the same artillery officer's training class at Ft. Sill, OK from Jan-April 1968. He and his wife lived next door to my wife and I in off base housing. We became good friends and training partners. We went our separate ways after leaving Ft. Sill, but ironically we both ended up in Vietnam at the same time and virtually the same place. At the time of his fatal accident I was at an artillery fire base no more than 20 kilometers from the crash site.

I think of Bill often. He will never be forgotten.
