Am not for certain but I recall hearing that Kendrick was in the Marines and that he participated in the SS Mayaguez incident in 1975. He was also wounded in action. If true, another one of 'Doches' fallen heroes.

Just heard from Peggy Galloway on Facebook -- she told me about Kendrick.
So sorry to hear this. He was definitely one of our class clowns.
