Dee and I worked together at the 30th NCR supply yard accros the river
from Danang. I was with him on that fateful day and the memory is burned
forever in my head. Dee you were a friend and a fellow SeaBee. I will never
forget you.

I met Ralph in 1965 when we were detatched from MCB 5 (SeaBees)
and sent to a small compound across the river from DaNang where Ralph died.
I was glad to be able to spend time with ralph. He was a kind friend and he
crosses my mind often.
