Keith, you were not only a neighbor but a friend. Sorry we never crossed paths in country. I will never forget you.

While I had left a message on the "virtual wall", it looks like it is gone. Keith and I were in basic training together in Texas (Ft Bliss) and met again in Viet Nam a couple of months before he was killed - not easy to say still. Anyway, he was a great guy at Pacific and beyond. I frequently remember him and know that someday we will meet again.
