1970
On
Friday, June 23, 2000, one of our own, Ken Webb, was taken from us. For all of
us who knew Ken, this is an especially tragic event as he was only 50 years
old. While I had just recently met Ken just a few weeks ago at the reunion of
the 101st Airborne Association at Ft Campbell, KY, I felt that I have known him
for a long time. Our communications via the emails of our Lancer net have
personally meant a lot. Ken always had the writing skills to tell even the
saddest of stories with a bit of humor that would make reading easier.
If I may
speak for all of Ken's Lancer and Redskin brothers, our lives and memories have
only improved for having known you. God Bless and our prayers and thoughts go
out to your family in their time of sorrow.

Steve Crimm and I presented the memorial plaque to Sandy
and Will Webb on Sunday, 10/15/00 at 10:30AM in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The 3397th Garrison Support Unit held a formation in front of the US Army
Reserve Center and Colonel Atkins, CO, called us forward to present the
memorial plaque. The words on the plaque were read aloud by Major Schrow
from the 3397th -- as we presented it to Sandy and Will Webb. The tribute
was written by Bill Walker, Lancer-17.
It was a nice ceremony and very much appreciated by Sandy
and Will.
Best regards,
Paul
