We befriended him while we were in Germany. I also have a 13+ handwritten speech that he wrote to give to "The River Rats" organization. He and his wife and daughter invited us to come to visit at their home where I took both still photographs and some home movies. He was a great man in our eyes and we also loved him, his wife, and his daughter. We were very saddened when he died. I also met Mr. Toliver in the mid 80s when he came to the Las Vegas area. I do not know how he is doing. I would be interested to know if a museum of some kind would be interested in the special items I have.
