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)
