Hi Chip. From your friend Don

It was sad when I heard you were killed in Viet Nam, a war we both protested. I got out of the war, but you were inducted as a ground medic. I heard that you stepped on a hidden mine and were killed immediately. It is a sad thing. But I hope to see you in heaven someday my friend. From your friend forever. Don

Chip and I were classmates at Sierra. We were not close friends, but his death in Vietnam hit me hard. He was the only person I knew who was killed there. I'm 72 years old now and a retired Episcopal priest.
