Richard Willett
Class of 1961
Army, 2 Years
Dick enlisted in the Army in 1964. He is the brother Sue Willett Clark of Los Gatos. Dick died in Vietnam on August 5, 1966. He was a sapper, that is a soldier who detects and disarms explosives such as land mines. Dick and Sue were my neighbors in Arlington and good friends. Dick was a guy who was always very patriotic and serious about his country. I wish I had a photo to put here, but you can refer to the 1961 yearbook.
