A Vietnam War pilot from Eastern Washington was laid to rest, some 56 years after he disappeared.
Paul Charvet was just 26 years old when he vanished without a trace, over North Vietnam in 1967.On this Memorial Day, for his family, it was the closing of the circle.“Paul was very outgoing and very gregarious, and didn’t know a stranger,” said Dona Re’ Shute, Charvet’s younger sister.
Indeed, her brother disappeared on the last day of what was to be his last tour of duty in Vietnam. He left behind a young wife. Ten years later, Charvet was officially declared dead. The family held a service for him and moved on.“Lorraine called me right around Memorial Day and said, ‘Are you sitting down? I have news,’” remembers Shute. “She said, ‘They found Paul.’”
