Comments:	I went to avaiation school with Richard at Fort Rucker, Alabama, 1966 and then was assigned to the 501st in Vietnam with Richard. I knew him very well and we were very close friends. I remember February 20, 1966 very well. I was a very sad day for me. For many years after Richards death I contacted and then corresponded with Richard's sister, Joan, but lost contact over the years. I would like to re-establish that contact. Ernest M. Harmon, 91 Rustic Lane, Portland, ME 04103. Joan's last know address was 261 Oceanside Street, Islip Terrace, NY. Richard was a very special friend. We did share a lot of good times together. He was a very nice man.
