Helicopter crash in Vietnam takes life of Eugenean A 19-year-old Eugenean has died in South Vietnam as the result of a helicopter crash about 30 miles south of Da Nang. Corporal Randall P. Manela, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Manela, 599 N. Garden Way, Eugene, died 18 Nov (1969) with the 14 other men aboard the Marine Corps CH46 when it crashed into the side of a mountain in a heavy fog. His parents were notified Friday of his death. It raised to 70 the number of Emerald Empire servicemen to die in the Vietnam War. Manela was born 17 May 1951 in Lebanon and moved with his family to Eugene four years ago. He graduated from Sheldon High School in 1969 and entered the Marine Corps in July of that year. Besides his parents, Manela is survived by a brother, Michael; a grandfather, Vincent Worland, of Tillamook and a grandmother, Muriel Thacker, of Corvallis. Arrangements and a date for the funeral have not yet been set except that the funeral will be held in Lebanon. (Eugene Register-Guard, Eugene OR, 21 Nov 1970) Thank you Oregon Genealogical Society

'WE'RE VERY PROUD, VERY SAD' by Jerry Mattoon "We are very sad - and very proud," said Mr. and Mrs. James E. Evans in quiet, well-controlled tones while talking about the loss of a second son in Vietnam. The Defense Department in Washington announced the death of Army Spec. 6 Norman F. Evans, 23, of Klamath Falls Monday. He was killed 24 Nov (1970) in an aircraft crash on returning from a mission and was one of 16 to die in the wreckage. His brother, David L. Evans, 19, was killed 24 Oct 1968, while on an aircraft rescue mission to pick up wounded soldiers. "The Army has a regulation that when one member of a family is killed in war a second member is not required to fight," the elder Evans said this morning. "But Norman wanted to go. He felt it was his duty," Evans added. David Evans was not married at the time of his death two years ago. Norman Evans is survived by his widow, Lana, two sons, Jeffery Scott, age 2 1/2; and David Linn, 15 months; and both brothers are survived by a half-brother, Robert Molohon; and by their parents. The total time served in Vietnam for all the three brothers adds up to more than four years.
"Yes, you might say we are a 'service' family," the elder Evans remarked this morning. " was in the Navy during World War II, and I retired from the Air Force here in Klamath Falls after 20 years. Military service comes natural to us. The boys believed in what they were doing and trusted the government in making right decisions,, we all do," Evans said quietly. Norman and David Evans were both Henley High School graduates, one in 1965 and the other in 1967. Both were born in Great Falls, MT. The third surviving half-brother is stationed in Hawaii in the Army. He and his wife, Corine, have two children, Robert James, 6, and Lisa Juanita, 5. The family is in Klamath Falls for funeral of Norman Evans Thursday, 10:30 p.m. at O'Hair's Funeral Chapel. During the four years of their marriage Mrs. Lana Evans estimated she and her husband had spent a total of 16 months together. (Herald and News, Klamath Falls OR, Wednesday, 2 Dec 1970 )
