Rec'd 16 Oct 2015:
"Dear Gentlemen,
My name is Janet Anduss. My husband returned from Pleiku, Viet Nam in May of 1968. About 25 years ago the Pleiku Viet Nam Air Base Association was formed. Every year, during the week following Labor Day the group has a reunion. One of the important activities at the reunions is the lovely memorial service where those brave men who did not return from Pleiku are honored.
This year during the memorial service it occurred to me that relatives of the fallen would appreciate knowing that their loved one is honored every year by those who did return from Pleiku. So I have begun searching for those relatives. I found your email addresses on the virtual wall. If you have any information that would help me contact relatives of Major Baker I would appreciate your sharing it with me so I can let them know Jack is not forgotten.
Thank you,
Janet Anduss
