Thank you Chuck.  It's good that we finally know what really happened! I stand corrected (everything was a bit blurry at that time).  Keith a pilot?  Amazing!  Helicopters are difficult under best conditions.  Again, thank you so very much!

Sorry, That was abrupt!  Keith was a late comer to MilHi, joininng us in his Senior year. So he had a few close friends,   Jim Meyers, Elizabeth Jeffery and I were there for him.  He came from Ontario, OR. He had a beautiful turqoise car. After graduation we lost touch.  Then I got letters from Viet Nam from him!  He wanted to hear about "home" and I wrote back about the "group". I was reading his  letter  when he was listed as dead in Viet Nam in the Oregonian.  (He was "working" in a helicopter, when it was shot down).

He said his song was "Mr. Lonely". He was a very special person and apparently very brave!  Now reciding at Willamette Cemetery.
