He was 21 years old and was not married. Quentin died from multiple fragmentation wounds from a mine. His body was recovered.

Denni was my friend. We went to high school together and spent much time together hanging around and doing what high school buddies do. Denni is missed. Jeffrey P Jones, 17653 Noll Road Northeast, Poulsbo, WA 98370, [email protected]
Denny and I were in the same OCS Company (85th, grad. 1/25/67) at Fort Benning, GA. I remember his great smile. When my family showed up the day before graduation, Denny took the time to show my kid brother around the company area. Across the gulf of years, I still feel his presence. I was privileged to be his friend. Ray Lottie, [email protected].
I went through OCS with Zambano. He was a funny guy, great sense of humor. I just now (2009) read he got killed. What a loss. He was a good guy. I'm sorry for all he's missed. Scott Kelley, [email protected]
Dennis is listed as having joined the service while in the state of Washington. But he grew up in Greensburg, PA and lived in the Northmont housing plan where I grew up. I was friends with and graduated from high school with his brother, Fred (Zeke). Fred was injured in Vietnam while serving as a Marine. I think of Dennis every time I drive by his mother's house on Beech Street. Jim Schuck
