Wes Dempster and I were friends at Camelback High school in Phoenix. Spent our summers cruising the main drag in muscle cars and chasing girls! Double dated Camelback girls often together. He was a wonderful young man...persona was an image innocence for the times in the 60's. I had searched the internet over the long years since then out of curiosity of how his life was going. I'm sad that the only place I was successful was for this obituary. He went Air Force and I went Navy Submarine Duty...so avoided the war unlike Wes. Rest easy, Wes. Perhaps we'll meet again some day. Glad he created a niche for himself and appears did that vey well indeed...taken from that way too soon.
