He wrote the very long poem about how one of his "buddies" sold him out for a bowl of rice. So, I agree with you...the others at the Hanoi Hilton would know.

Is your friend's father still alive? I'm doing the Bataan Death March marathon run at the end of March at White Sands, New Mexico. They have films and displays and such about it, and you get to meet some of the survivors. I'm very much looking forward to it.
