This was a good kid, very bright and wickedly funny. While no one, deserved, to die, or get hurt over there, "Bakes" was, the one guy, who should have, never been killed. He didn't, have a mean bone, in his body. He didn't even, "visit" the girls, in the ville, as he thought, it degraded them. He spent, a lot of time talking, with various Vietnamese, studying them, learning the language and customs and was probably fluent, by the time, of his death. I often think, of the time, spent with him and how his arrival, picked my head up, from the first. Just looking, at this tall, skinny kid, from Texas, by way of L.A., or vice versa, with that smirk and that, silly little moustache, you just knew, he was all right. He was good, under fire too, never panicky, or really scared. When I got the letter, informing me of his death, I spun into, an angry sadness, that I still, feel every time, I think of him. Such a waste. He'd have been, 57, on his next birthday. I was there, helping him celebrate, his 24th and final one, in 1967. My thoughts are, still with him, with his parents and with his little sister, Ruthie, who sent us a bunch, of "Scrooge McDuck," comics, for a goof. Such a waste, the whole thing, was such, a waste.
