Duane and I watched the Three Stooges in the lounge are of the locker room at the SE station before detail briefing that morning. About 3 hours later Duane was dead and his FTO Barry Whisenhunt was critically injured. Duane and I had only known one another for several days before he was killed, but I was looking forward to a long friendship before the tragedy. It's been many years since that day, but I am sure I will remember him the rest of my life. He certainly seemed to be a wonderful young man.
