| Gentlemen,
Sharon Has asked to be maintained on our mailing list so she can be kept appraised of your history and other functions as they develop. She also asks that all of you who served with Lawrence in M/3/26 relate your memories of him. Sharon tells me that his Vietnam experience (two tours) were a secret part of his life even though they were together for 29 years. Your history of Hill 881S has been helpful to her, but she still wants to hear from those who served with Lawrence. Please drop Sharon a note. Her email address is: W1ndsong48@aol.com |
