Randy's Story
Hi. This is actually Randy's daughter, Lindsey. (The picture is my father during the Vietnam era.) I am twenty-three years old and my father passed away five years ago in November. I made this as an attempt to learn more about my father. His name was Randall Ray Rugg, Randy, and he was a very tall, blonde and sarcastic man. His eyes were piercing blue.

He was dedicated and loving and funny and I have nothing to remember him by. I mean, we talked and I have a few small personal items, but it was hard for my dad to bring up the past...even more so before the war. Now, the years fade into one another and I feel like I am losing him. I want to know everything I can.
