Army Spc., 1st Bn., 28th Inf. Rgt, 4th Inf. Bd. Combat Team, 1st Inf. Div.

Graduated Glendale HS. Loved sports; was lousy at them. Volunteered to manage teams instead; became indispensable. Once walked 58 miles to see his team play when he couldn’t get a ride. Hoped to become sportswriter. Easy-going, never complained.
