VanDeGiesen dies in crash

Posted by Andrew Mahoney, Boston.com Staff October 27, 2009 08:01 AM

Some sad news to report, as Capt. Kyle VanDeGiesen, a Marine helicoper pilot, was killed earlier this week in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.

VanDeGiesen was an outstanding quarterback at North Attleboro High School. He was named a Boston Globe All-Scholastic in December of 1997 after leading the Red Rockets to the Super Bowl.

The Globe's Milton Valencia has the story on VanDeGiesen's untimely death.
