Dumbya had a low draft number. His local draft board had to choose one more person in that year to make up for Dumbya's escape into the TANG.

The last drafted person (the one with the highest number) from his local board was the guy.

Can we find him?

Is his name on the Wall?

2. Wouldn't this be a good day to send that letter to the press?
Do you remember anything that could help me in using the DU search function? A name, a city, anything?

TIA

3. What to check...
Who else took the test that year to get into TANG and was denied?
What was his/her score?
Where is s/he now?

5. I've tried.
Four years ago I searched records available online for the names and stories of people who went during the time Bush would have gone, from Midland and Houston. The stories were heartbreaking. One guy was killed in a rice paddy on his first day in 'Nam. Many of them were married, with children. Most of them were poor, and brown-skinned.

It's impossible to find the ONE. But some of the stories can be told.
