POSTED ON 6.17.2002, POSTED BY: JOANNA BOSTWICK BACKMAN. REMEMBERING A FELLOW TEXAN. I am remembering Michael Rodney Dorman, a fellow Texan, who died in the service of his country, in South Vietnam. Although he was older than I was, and I only knew him through his family, his death has left an impression on me all these many years. Now, over thirty years have passed and I have spoken with his sister, now a grandmother herself, and we share a bond, fellow Texans, fellow survivors, of a time long over, different memories, different losses, but same griefs. His life was short, but his contributions great.
