Today I found a Mickey Spillane book, `Kiss Me, Deadly´. The inside cover of the book identifies the owner as PVT Billy P. Boyd, 210 West 34th St., Richmond, VA. If you are Billy´s family and would like this memory of Billy, I would feel blessed as a fellow veteran to be able to return it to you. Please contact me. I live in Louisa County, VA.

I lived across the street from the Morrison's at Snead and John Streets in Ashland. I was a teenager when they started dating. They were always so nice to me and my parents thought they were a good influence on me. I always smile when I think of them. So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your families.
