   From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 02/23/14 - "Vietnam Wall":

This is simply amazing; sad, but amazing that someone thought it important enough to spend personal time to put together this info. God bless the person responsible for it.

As stated below, it's very sobering.

THis is really sobering. Click on the link and find the city you went to high school and look at the names. Click on the name and it will give details of the death.

Vietnam Wall
First click on a state. When it opens, scroll down to the city and the names will appear.

Then click on their names. It should show you a picture of the person, or at least their bio and medals.

This really is an amazing web site. Someone spent a lot of time and effort to create it.

Vietnam Wall

I hope that everyone who receives this appreciates what those who served in Vietnam sacrificed for our country.

The link below is a virtual wall of all those lost during the Vietnam war with the names, bio's and other information on our lost heroes. Those who remember that time frame, or perhaps lost friends or family can look them up on this site.

You may wish to pass this link on to others so they have the opportunity to look up loved ones, also, as many knew wonderful people whose names are listed.

   This is definitely sobering, George! Thank you so much for sharing it with us again!

   From Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 02/23/14 - "Cool Photographer":

The photographer was dumb, but as cool as any I've ever seen. A Wapiti is the name for a very young elk.

   HA-HA-HA! Thanks, Dools!

From Jimmy Smith ('62 / '63) of VA - 02/06/14 - "OLD CANS .... (#13 in a Series of 15)":

OLD CANS!

He used to go to all the public functions...especially the picture theaters. And he always carried a sugar bag to collect empty bottles and cans. His name was... Albert (Tapper) Torney.

Everyone thought he was a bit eccentric and kids would tease and hassle him. Then it was discovered that he sold the empty bottles but only some of the cans.

After he died in 1998 (aged 86) his large collection of model cars made from aluminum cans was discovered.

This goes to prove..."you shouldn't judge a book by its cover" - or a sculptor by his sugar bag. Some of his collection ---- AMAZING!

   WOWZERS! Thanks, Jimmy!

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 02/14/14 - "Snow in Russia (#8 in a Series of 37)":

Tears

Written by Geddy Lee
(b. 29 July 1953)

Recorded by Rush, 1976

All of the seasons and all of the days
All of the reasons why I've felt this way
So long...
So long

Then lost in that feeling I looked in your eyes
I noticed emotion and that you had cried
For me
I can see

What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

A lifetime of questions, tears on your cheek
I tasted the answers and my body was weak
For you
The truth

What would touch me deeper...
Tears that fall from eyes that only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes that know why?

This lovely song is a bit out of character for Rush. I really like it, because you know how I love ballads.
