He won't be forgotten
Posted for: KENNETH RICHARD MCLEESE:
Ken was the only member of our small high school graduation class (38) to be killed in the war in Vietnam. We weren't particularly good friends, but in a town as small as ours everyone knew everyone by name.
Ken had a smile that lit up his face! It seems impossible that so many years have gone by since he lost his life in Vietnam, and that after all those years I can still see the smile on his face. The class of '68 will never forget him; I certainly won't.
