Mr Underhill

To answer your question this, the person you are asking about a was one of my best friends in high school (Delaware Hayes H.S. Euclid ave. Delaware Ohio 43015) I was in Beirut Lebanon at the time this happened after my ship (uss Trenton LPD- 14) left grenada). Yes it was a senior day in 1983 and my freind was wasted on alcohol (he was a big drinker and it was probably jack daniels too) and he went into a section of the Eiffel Tower that was off limits but not locked and opened the door to an elevator and proceeded to walk out into thin air right in front of a bunch of my friends and fell to his death. You can probably find a write up of it in the Delaware Gazette in Delaware Ohio if you call or write them, as to the legend I bave no idea but i wouldn't be surprised that there is one but those are the basic facts of the story. He was survived by his older brother and his parents and younger sister and he was a star swimmer that I believe had a scholarship to Ohio State University. I believe that gives you enough information to find out the rest of the story and to know that itis a very sore point for a lot of us from that class and my class of 1982.
