More detail on this person: During a recent reunion I learned that my roommate from the 571st Med Det (HA) had died after returning from Viet Nam. After checking the VHPA site I saw that there was no info listed as to the circumstances of his death. Using the web to search for info, I came up with this link. If this is the same person, it might be of some help to anyone interested in filling in the details as to what happened to Dave.

All the best,

Steve Woods
