Telecon Gerald Brown/Larry Carpenter
8:30 am Tuesday, July 25,2000

I called and this time I found Gerald and his wife at home. (I forgot to take into account I was calling the West Coast and called before they were both out of bed.
Gerald said there was "... so little news at the time" when his brother was killed. He was still living at home when the phone call came at 4 in the morning.
Richard Brown was known as Richard to his parents but wanted to be called "Rick" when he went in service. Gerald Brown named one of their sons Richard/Rick after his brother.
It turns out that Betty's (Mrs. Brown) sister, who now lives in Monterey, CA was married to Rick and had been for two years when he was killed. Betty and Gerald were not yet married but Betty knew Gerald's brother well.
Rick's widow closed the book on Rick's death, remarried and doesn't talk about him. She doesn't know about the website.

Rick's father learned to fly after Rick's death. He was killed in the weather related crash of a BT-13 four years later.

They are looking for the questionnaire and one of their sons will send a photo, maybe by e-mail.
Their sons all are computer literate and have followed the website with interest. Place of Burial:
