In the above picture, Willis is on the right with glasses. He was from somewhere in Idaho, I think around Pocatello Idaho. He was a likable character, gruff, but nice guy. He died on the hospital ship at Đà Nàng from some kind of illness. This was in mid-1967. The guy on the left in this picture is named Pipkin, and is from somewhere down South.
