Wiping away the tears5/3/200910:56:11 P.M. Eastern Daylight Timezot250@ameritech.netg8521121@aol.com

Dear Barbara,

The good news is that I can tell you when you will stop crying - When you get to Heaven Jesus will wipe away thelast tear.

How are you doing?

I think Vince Lewis is a Dayton friend. Small world. I'm off to chase tornadoes on the 11th. It is a long workingproject and part of the hearing aid technology. I got divorced in November. Too hard to live with the warped VietNam vet.

Love,

Zot

28 Jun 2004It has "only" been 33 years since Bob died. I miss him every day. He was a wonderful friend and husband to me.Mere words cannot express the fun and joy and touching moments we shared.

Bob was 24 years old and an orphan the day he died. He had no children. He was a 1969 graduate of the UnitedStates Air Force Academy.

I remarried a few years later. My husband and our children have listened to so many stories about Bob. Soonafter The Wall opened my husband planned a family trip to Washington DC. It was so hard for me. My husbandhas made Bob so much a part of our family history. I am old enough now to be Bob's mother.

Someday I won't cry anymore.

Good Day:

I am writing to give my regrets that I will be unable to attend theFallen Heroes Memorial this June. I would like to thank ArchbishopWilliams High School for creating this memorial.

My mother, Barbara Guest, is Robert E. Ryan's widow. Although shemarried my father and together they created a family-I also have asister, Christie-Bob Ryan was always a part of our lives. His picturewas on our mantel along with other pictures of family. Since my sisterand I were children, we have heard the stories of Bob Ryan and learnedto love him too. My father and mother will be at the memorialdedication; my husband and I will be there in spirit while we take careof our newborn son at home.

Thank you again.

· .I first met Bob Ryan in 1969 when he was at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs,Colorado. I was a junior in college and a friend and classmate of Barbara Linnane who wasdating Bob and who would eventually marry him. I attended their wedding at Hanscom AirForce Base before Bob left for Vietnam. I remember him as a very handsome guy-maybe a bitshy but so brave. Barbara traveled to Hawaii to be with him on his R & R. He made her veryhappy.

His death brought the war in Vietnam so close to me. I was only 23 years old and I had neverpersonally known anyone who had died so young. On several occasions I have visited theVietnam War Memorial in D.C. and I always have fond memories of Bob when I am there.

I now live in Bob's hometown of Hingham and I often drive by the War Memorial in HinghamSquare where there is a memorial to Bob. I think of him often.

Hi Cathy,

This is to pass my regrets that I am unable to attend the June 13th Fallen Heroes Ceremony at ArchbishopWilliams High School.

I will be out of the country at that time.

I suspect that the invitation to me came from the widow of Air Force 1st Lt Bob Ryan, Barbara. If so, please passmy regrets -- and personal regards to her. I served with Bob many years ago in Southeast Asia -- he was a fineman, a loving husband, and indeed a true hero.

Warm regards,Tom Fleming
