Was looking for friend from Laon AFB and saw your Uncle's name. He and his wife were friend's of ours when we were stationed at Offut AB in Nebraska IN 1965- 68 He took my sons for a ride on his motorcycle. I recall he and wife were outdoor folks and I bet they enjoyed their time in Alaska.Sorry I can't help you out with the info you want. I can't remember his wife's name!

My Uncle was a Command Pilot who flew in WWII - Korea - Vietnam, but he didn't retire until sometime around 1975? Last assignment was as Flight Command out of Fairbanks, AK in charge of all refueling flights to Russia. We would love to hear from anyone who may have known him or flew with him. In retrospect, it appears he was initially with EIGHTH AIR FORCE? > then 831st [Philippines and Korea]? >then SAC in Omaha > Fairbanks for three years when retired. He past fall 2015 at age of 93 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. God Rest his soul. I have many photos and some movie footage of 'the war', his planes, etc - if anyone is interested. Is there a site where photos can be posted to share with others?
