Notes from the Wall:

The last time I talked with Tim was at the "shack". He told me that he decided to join the army and "get it over with". He didn't want the draft hanging over his head because he had so many plans. He was so full of life and one the truly decent guys.

In Honor and Thanks
It was, my privilege and heartache, to view the Vietnam, Veteran's, Memorial Wall, in Washington, DC., this past weekend. The emotions were, incredible and although, we never had the chance, to know one, another, in life, I want to honor and thank you, for your dedication and supreme sacrifice. Rest in heavenly peace, brave soldier and know, you, are not forgotten and never will be.

I was Tims cousin, and I was stationed in Nam at the same time but with the 1st Marine Division. Tim's family lives in Appleton area yet, just a few miles from me. IF you knew Tim please contact me. Thanks
