Wesley Doidge's mom confirmed that Wes has passed on.  Wes and I were in the same basic training unit at Fort Ord, CA. June of 1961.  Within 30 days the Berlin Wall crisis broke out.  I had not been serious about weapon cleaning, gun sight method, and hand to hand combat training.  All of a sudden, life was serious, Wes brought me up to speed on things I had tuned out.  Also the same unit had Hogie Carmichael's son.  I remember a limo picking up Carmichael to go home as I hitch hiked up the coast back to San Carlos.  I first learned of Wes passing on this website August of 2011.
