High School Days in Seneca
I remember Jimmy from his senior days at Seneca High School in 1962, bright, smart, funny, shy, and frail. Jimmy was the last person I would have suspected as a Marine, but I'm glad he did what he did, he must have needed it. I will always remember his shy smile, and his funny sense of humor. God bless not only Jimmy and his memory, but to All who served in Vietnam. Damn, what a nasty war........Dick Rivett
