Bruce was a very excellent friend of mine up until he died in Cambodia in late 68 or 69.(back to this after some fond memories to share)Our frriendship started at Mt. Hebron in Jr. High. Bruce started MHS, but left for prep school before finishing his Sophmore year. As many of you know, Bruce went to Colgate after graduating from prep school. Bruce, Ken Kilmartin and myself went on many ski trips with Bruce to Vermont. Bruce also invited me to mny parties up at Colgate-Great parties!!! I was married in 1967 just after graduating from Officer Candidate school-Army. I had a military wedding at the Manor and Bruce was one of my ushers. Bruce and I were both over there at the same time. Bruce was in Cambodia, and I was in Chu Lai. We exchanged many leters during that time frame. I was unaware of Bruce's death until I arrived home in April of 69. My ex-wife did not write me abo9ut Bruce(glad she didn't). I'll never forget Bruce, and I am extremely glad that I was one of his friends
