Thanks Tim for this great comment. My daughter, Megan, actuall went to DC on a school trip and had a photograph made at the Memorial and Terry''s name appeared right beside her. She obviously had no clue about the significance or the relationship. I'll have to see if I can find the picture and bring it with me to the reunion.
Thanks, Tim!! Was very sad when saw news of Terry being KIA years ago! He was a very good friend who helped me get through Geometry! He deserves to be honored. Such a great guy! Thanks so much for posting info.
