WE WERE GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD

Jared and I were in platoon 227 at PI. We bunked next to each other there, and became friends. He and I pulled together to get through the long days at PI. Jared talked a lot about his town and his girl, Shirley. She was the one that called me in South Boston to tell me of his death, 15 days incountry...didn't have a chance I guess.

I went to his town.. near Albany and met his girl Shirley and his family. Saw the town and the places he talked about. I wrote his mom several times...she's moved since. I guess there's a sister in Taunton, MA... I would like to meet her... Jane...I am at Fire HQ in Boston...617-343 3630...I guess I am on a mission to meet some of the boys that we graduated with... Met RYAN, and a few others.

Jared your mom sent me picks of you...I have them. We were gonna change the world when you got out.. thanks for being there for me, I hope I was there for you. I plan to visit your grave this Fall and see if Shirley is still there. I'm 51 now, reading your bio was moving. looking for others to talk to. I miss my buddy, MIKE GRIGALUNAS, 7-4-99
