The memory that comes to mind is one involving my Senior prom. We were decorating when Jack Skewes came into the gym (where we held all of our proms and dances). He was coming to tell his wife, Dea, that he had just received word that his brother, my cousin, had been killed in Viet Nam. Bobbie was close to my age and had only been in Nam for a short time when he was killed by friendly fire. A bomb had gone off and he was hit by shrapnel from the bomb. It hit Jackie pretty hard and I was glad that he was married to Dea so that he had a support system very close to him at that time even though as cousins we were also there.
