Another Currahee Gone IP: 107.191.169.164 Posted on September 8, 2016 at 11:10:24 PM by Jerry B
Troopers,
We have lost another fine Currahee, Battalion Commo Chief David Beaty (HHC 1968/69). Dave and wife Gladis attended several of our annual reunions. They lived in El Paso, Arkansas.
It is truly a small world we live in. When I located Dave a decade or so back, it turned out that his wife Gladis had been my sister-in-law's nurse when she died at Cabot, AR. My brother had known her but never realized that her husband had served with me in Vietnam.

Jerry,
My name is Trace, I am Dave Leo Beaty's grandson. Not sure if you are in charge of the Currahee's website or not, yours the only email I saw, so figured I would give you a try. Dave Beaty passed away on August 24, I know he is on y'all roster on the website, so I just wanted to let you know. I'm sorry for the loss, I can honestly say he talked about the Currahee's alot, so much that I actually bought your book (my gift to you) to learn more about it. If there is anything I can do or help with, just let me know.
