AHC 1967-68 died last week. Powell is in a video I
have that he made commerically called Vietnam
War Stories. He stopped at a truck stop in Idaho
last week, and dropped dead. Am asking for
details. Probably heart attack. Funeral is this
week, details to follow. I knew him thru the
Nightstalkers of the 160th Special Operations
Aviation Regiment at Ft Campbell. He got a direct
from warrant after the first tour, got RIF'ed in
73 as a Captain, came back as a CW2, retired as a
CW4 and flew Hawks in Grenada in '83. Another top
of the line fine American is gone physically, but
his spirit will live on with me. He never
complained.
