Friend and former Comrade. A Friend not forgotten in over 37 years Terry and I went through basic training at Fort Bragg, NC in 1968. He was a wonderful person. I remember his family visiting him, as he was from Charlotte, NC. I now live in the Charlotte area, and I have never forgotten Terry, even after all these years. I still think of him often. He left a lasting impression. God bless Terry Hodges and his family. Will Pleasants, 110 Newport Dr, Kannapolis, NC 28081, [email protected].
