I remember Dick sat in front of me in English and he made the class fun.It was announced on radio the night I gave a party and I'm pretty sure it was in 1968. Put a definite damper on the night.
Thank you Dick for your patriotism.

Hello. I (BCHS 1964) was a friend of your class mate Dick Stein who was killed in VIetnam in 1967. If you are having a 50th reunion this year, I wonder if Dick's class mates would like to remember him by placing a class wreath or other token of remembrance at the Vietnam Memorial. I would be happy to pay for and arrange this as we live nearby in Virginia.

I knew Dick back in 7th grade (where I finished my last two years before leaving St. mary's Elm Grove. Dick was there for 7th grade only . He finished 8th grade I bekieve at Lane. Dick's parents moved into Cardinal Creat (off of Elm Grove Rd.). During the years at BCHSA he was dating Marilyn Gonnering...product of our grade School Immaculate Heart of Mary and later Pius.. Probably would of married marilyn if he would of made it home from Nam.
Strage thing happened to me as I was hitch hiking from school (WCTC) as Mr. Jerome Bandetini (one of our teacher from Central picked me up right after his funeral. But he was going to deliver the $10,000.00 dollar check from the military for dying in the line of service. For me at the time it was breath-taking. Kind of took the sails out of me.
I did attend that funeral and it was hard for I knew Marilyn well also.
