Dear Folks,

…I had a “short-timer’s” dream last night that I was home. What a horrible experience to walk up and find myself back in sunny Vietnam!! Only 89 days to go….

Love, Des
Desmond T. Barry, Jr. served as a lieutenant with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Regiment, 1st Marine Division, operating in northern I Corps from March 1968-April 1969. A 1967 graduate of Princeton University, he started law school at Fordham University when he returned home in 1970. In 1972 he joined the firm of Condon & Forsyth, where he’s been the Managing Partner “for more years than I care to remember. I have had a great career specializing in the defense of airlines and aircraft manufacturers in mass disaster litigation and I have traveled all over the world in connection with my practice,” he writes. He and his wife of 30 years, Patricia, are the parents of Kate and Todd. They live in Connecticut.
