As most of you know, I'm filling in for Copper (SC) while he's on vacation. This is my last day of school so I've asked BadDog (our former State Captain) to make the calls this morning. One of us will post later when we have more info.

See http://www.krem.com/topstories/stories/krem2_061906_rotckilled.a1840d67.html.
Apparently the service for 1st. Lt. Ewens is in Gig Harbor tomorrow. Maybe the
news station can give you more info.
There will be a memorial service tomorrow at 11am outside Cowles
Auditorium on the Whitworth campus. Another memorial is planned for
Thursday in Gig Harbor, where Ewens' family now lives.

I'm in the process of contacting an LT that should have exact
information. I have 3 numbers to reach him at, and as soon as I
do reach him, I'll post the info here. I'll try all numbers every
30 minutes or so.

Lt Col Westfield is on a long drive en-route to Ft Lewis and communications
is a hit and miss.
He will make contact with family sometime after he arrives, which will be at
least another 4 hours.
As soon as I know, I will get it posted.
