Kenneth James Webb
1970
On Friday, June 23, 2000 one of our own, Ken
Webb, was taken from us. For all of us who knew Ken, this is an especially
tragic event as he was only 50 years old. While I had just recently met Ken
just a few weeks ago at the reunion of the 101st Airborne Association at Ft
Campbell, KY, I felt that I have known him for a long time. Our communications
via the emails of our Lancer net have personally meant a lot. Ken always had the
writing skills to tell even the saddest of stories with a bit of humor that
would make reading easier.
If I may speak for all of Ken's Lancer and
Redskin brothers, our lives and memories have only improved for having known
you. God Bless and our prayers and thoughts go out to your family in their time
of sorrow.

Steve Crimm and I presented the memorial plaque to Sandy
and Will Webb on Sunday, 10/15/00 at 10:30AM in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The 3397th Garrison Support Unit held a formation in front of the US Army
Reserve Center and Colonel Atkins, CO, called us forward to present the
memorial plaque. The words on the plaque were read aloud by Major Schrow
from the 3397th -- as we presented it to Sandy and Will Webb. The tribute
was written by Bill Walker, Lancer-17.
It was a nice ceremony and very much appreciated by Sandy
and Will.
Best regards,
Paul
