Ralph Hensel and I were best friends along with Larry Howard and kept in touch since graduating from Andover High. Since we all went our separate ways after graduation we rarely met again except at HS Reunions. Ralph was a C-47 pilot in a very special aircraft fitted with several miniguns to provide close air support in Vietnam. I was very proud to have known Ralph and to hear about his Air Force exploits. He was a true American hero.

So sad to see so many of our classmates leaving this earth...I pray for their families and loved ones that they may find peace.
