Sadly, I report the death of a fellow VHPA member who was my hooch-mate at Chu Lai, RVN 1969-70. LTC (ret) Ned Beatty passed away 17 May 18 in Minden, LA. We served together in A Co. 123rd Avn Bn (the Infamous Pelicans) on Ky Ha heliport. Ned was our unit's aircraft maintenance officer. He did an outstanding job of keeping us flying. Many American and South Vietnamese soldiers' lives were saved because we always had helicopters available for missions. He was a respected team player held in high regard to all of us who served with him. I have lost a close friend. American has lost a hero!
