I learned after the Jump that 'Speed' Reed had
landed in the Jap CP and was killed in his harness. I always gave him the credit
for exchanging his life for that of Capt. Itagaki, the Japanese Commander on
Corregidor. He was the perfect example of a guy who could match the
adage "Walk quietly and carry a big stick."
