Like James Robinson, I was also in Mr. Chamberlain's metal shop "session" (homeroom) with Allen Olson and am only now, from his tribute, learning about the venue of Allen's death. That it happened 48 years ago makes it no less shocking and difficult to reckon with. Allen was a great guy as a classmate and a most admirable man.

Allen was in my home room in the metal shop. In the early 70's I heard of his death in Viet Nam. I've visited the V.N. Memorial in DC and paid tribute. I'm so sorry.
