General Note
Ceremonies opening the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, November, 1982. One aspect of the event was the reading of the names of all those killed in Vietnam. The reading took place in the National Cathedral and went on continuously, 24 hrs. a day, for three days. I was one of the readers of the names of the dead. Included are sheets of the instructions we received, programs, the list of names I read, as well as three black and white photos of me doing my reading which were taken from a TV screen during an NBC news feed.
