Chet's brother
wrote to us that Chet died in 1987 from complications resulting from exposure to
agent orange while serving in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. His
name appears on the Vietnam Veteran's War Memorial Plaque (separate of the wall)
in Washington, DC, recognizing those veterans who died following the war from
issues pertaining to the war. To our knowledge, Chet is the only member of
the Class of '65 to have died as a result of service during the Vietnam War.
His service and sacrifice to our country and the cause of freedom are remembered
with gratitude, humility and sadness.
