Friend and former Comrade. A Friend not forgotten in over 37 years Terry and I went through basic training at Fort Bragg, NC in 1968. He was a wonderful person.

He left a lasting impression. God bless Terry Hodges and his family. Will Pleasants, 110 Newport Dr, Kannapolis, NC 28081, newhavenwillp@aol.com
