Cleave Bridgman was the first LHS 1964 grad to die, serving in Army and killed in action in Vietnam War... As a veteran myself, called out of Grad School in 1968 by the Local Selective Service Board 109 in Lexington, and a USAF Career NCO,
1968-1988/ I am a Vietnam Era and Cold War Era Veteran, and I hope and wish Cleave's name could be add to WW Two and Korea Memorial Plaque that was/is still? in the LHS Library, in a Section for Vietnam War. He was a friendly and wonderful classmate of the Class of 1964...
