"Hank" was my best childhood friend. He was a tremendous dancer and the best hitter on our Little League team. Hank was very popular, very charismatic. After graduating from Dudley High School, Hank, Elvester Hester and I worked the summer at a mill in Greensboro. I joined the Marines and a few months later Hank and Elvester joined the Army. They left for Vietnam shortly after I returned from my first tour. Both died in the war in 1968. Ralph Herbin, [email protected].
