"Bud" Leming, KIA Vietnam 1969. During July 2002, the Traveling Vietnam Wall came to Columbus and one of the names on the list from Bartholomew County was Charles Leming. Somehow this name was not available at the time of the memorial construction and was omitted. That now has been corrected. Charles Leming was born and spent most of his 23 years in Connersville, Indiana and graduated form high school in 1963 and from Indiana University in 1968. He married Maureen Thomas who was a Columbus High School teacher in 1967-68 and the couple lived in Columbus, Indiana during that year while he completed his graduation requirements. He went into the service from Columbus in July in 1968 and to Vietnam six months later. Three months later he became a KIA in Vietnam. Although his ties to Columbus were brief, they met the requirements established by the committee which certified the names for inclusion on the memorial.
