He certainly was a good friend. We talked about Chief Negotiator on the phone quite a few times. It's a shame that he died the way he did! Both of them were fine men.
I was thinking about Chief Negotiator the other day. I had copied his thread about being rejected for duty in the Marines because I was so moved by it. When I read of his death the following morning, I was just so shocked, because I had read and downloaded the thread within minutes of when he died. Was there ever any final determination of just what happened?
