"I Still
Remember" - I was in AIT with Burt at Fort Gordon Georgia and I
still remember how he made us all laugh even when we didn't feel like
it.
I served with him in Vietnam and he maintained his sense of humor and was always fun to be around.
I considered him a friend and I still remember him and I still miss him.
