Subject: Contact with family of Larry Dee Brock who was my roomate in OCS in 1968

I recently read a poem in Winter 2010 edition of "VietNow". The magazine had been around my apartment for quite a while and I was getting ready to throw it out, but first I decided to take a quick look at some of the articles. I noticed one writing entitled: "You Were My Son", but it was late and I wasn't sure if I was up to the task of reading this undoubtably sad poem. Somethimg told me that I should read this poem ; and it was very moving to me , especially considering that my only son recently became the father of his own son. At some point while reading, I glanced down to the bottom of page and noticed the name Larry Dee Brock - my former roomate and friend from OCS at Ft.Benning. I finished reading the poem with tears in my eyes. I knew Larry had been killed in VN and I knew Larry was a great guy but now hearing(reading)his mother talk(write)about him was so very moving. I also felt some guilt because , even though years ago I made an etching of Larry's name at the VN Memorial wall in Washington, I never tried to contact Larry's family. Well, that's what I'm trying to do now. I would like to say hello to Larry's mother, his daughter, his former wife or any other relative or friend, and offer my much belated condolences; and perhaps tell one or two stories about LARRY DEE.
