Spokane GI Is Missing Lyle David Zacher, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arleigh Zacher of Route 3, has been reported missing in action near Da Nang. Naval authorities notified his parents Saturday morning that he was aboard a small ammunition supply boat near a bridge ramp when enemy rockets destroyed the vessel Thursday. Zacher, eldest son in the family, went overseas on 30 Jan (1969). He had served a Far East tour of duty earlier in a destroyer. He was graduated from Lewis and Clark High School, and had lived here all his life. (Spokesman Review, Spokane WA, 4 Mar 1969)
