Jensen, veteran of three wars, discovered as Vietnam victim
On May 9, 2003, we learned of two more QA Vietnam victims, George Jensen, '43, and Tommie Lunn, '65. We found George in the '43 yearbook, but are still looking for Tommie. George was a pilot who with his crew disappeared in Vietnam. Thanks to Darilee Bednar of the www.facesfromthewall website for information about George.
