My son Edward and I used to shoot skeet with him at Oceana NAS. He was originally from Kansas City (I think) and came to Va when he joined the Army Aircorp near the end of WW2. He was around 17 or 18. He said he learned to fly Thunderbolts, but never saw action as the war ended. He met a nice girl and settled down in Norfolk. He was a great guy and full of stories. I remember him at one of the early Southern SxSs having a cool one with another dearly departed PGCA member (Rodger the Codger). They were two happy and contented men. There's a picture of them floating around here somewhere.
