Peggy...

I just received notice of Boomers passing. I am so so sorry for your loss. I met Boomer on the 12th TFW Discussion a long time ago. Being an Munitions guy myself, we became instant friends and enjoyed many a conversation, not only about being AMMO men, but about Vietnam and life in general. As a matter of fact, in one of our discussions on Vietnam, he took me under his wing (he said he was 36 in Vietnam and I was just a punk kid at 20) and we had some some pretty serious "talks" on the subject. This was back in April 2007, and yes, I saved all those emails from then which I'd be more then willing to share with you and your family. Sadly, I was not the group since about 2013 so I missed all those years of friendship with him, but I can tell you this... he was one hell of a fine man and friend and I'm sad I will never be able to talk to him again, until we meet once more in the big bomb dump in the sky!

God Bless you and your family,

Ken Hopkins

So sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Jim. I'm glad though that the only time he missed with his pistol is when he was shooting at me! He will be missed.
