"Allan, I was a bit ahead of you in school. I sold your
oldest brother my motorcycle when I graduated (not
Bruce....the oldest and I've "lost' his name in my old
memory bank... Jt's JJm ... FrankJJnJ
Anyway, I graduated in '62 and joined the Marines.
Wound up in GhuLai, Vietnam in 1965-1966. Got out
in '66 and came back to CS and entered TAMU.
"Rolling Thunder For The Wall (RFTW) was started in
1989 as an effort by James Gregory and Bill Evans.
They were a couple of Vietnam Veterans who
traveled across the heartland of America on
motorcycles, talking to local radio, TV, and newspapers
about the fact that we had thousands of men and
women still unaccounted for from all of our wars.
The need for this awareness continues today and we
continue this tradition every May. They travel from
Ontario California, to Washington QG, joining Rolling
Thunder for the Wall.
