Served in Vietnam (USN) with childhood friend

[squid72]

I was friend of Royal David "Dave" Cobb,  the brother of a childhood friend of yours from Tucson. We served in the same Navy aviation unit onboard the USS Kitty Hawk in Vietnam most of 1972. You were a big heart-throb among the crew and Dave said you were a family friend but nobody believed him...until you sent him a very heart-felt birthday card. We all got a morale boost from it and Dave was very gratified (not to mention, a bit of a hero). I lost track of him after 1975 and was sad to learn of his untimely death in 1991. We loved you then, and still! Tom Hall, Prescott, AZ

What a nice story to share squid72. Thank you. It doesn't surprise me that Linda would do that but we don't often hear of those nice things she does in her down to Earth way.
