THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Beverly Ford is especially poignant and attests to her love for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

I remember being in Mr. Camp's Math Class with John, He and I and a few others would have fun making up problems for Mr. Camp to answer. I remember being at Baseball practice (John was a hell of a pitcher) and warming him up. It usually took only about 3 or 4 pitches before my hand was stinging. I remember hearing about his being killed in Viet Nam, I went out to the school parking lot and crying like a baby. I think of you often John, Love you like a brother.... Peace

On the remembrance of your 73rd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Fi, Doc.
