Friend and fellow navigator in South East Asia

Art and I went through navigator and survival school training in the same classes. We were stationed at U-Tapao, Thailand and later shared quarters during a 'typhoon evac' at Takhli. I was shocked when I received news of Art's plane being downed. I wore my uniform to his remembrance service in Greenville, IL.

I remember "Art" well from Colonel Curtis D. Dale, PhD, USAF (Ret)

Just saw this. Was Art's EC-47 instructor, DaNang, RVN. '72. Fine Nav and Mission Director. Worked for me in additional duties (OERS, APRs, Awards and Decorations). Good friends. Superb officer, writer and gentleman, husband father. Honor him each Veteran's Day--shot down in Baron 52, possibly last shoot down of Vietnam War. One of my two best friends killed in Vietnam War.

honoring you....

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in war are tragic that you perished so late in this war is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

We who grew up with him knew he was exceptional

Lived in Art's neighborhood, always bouncing a basketball. Hit the winning shot for Comets to get to Sweet Sixteen, as a sophomore. Always cool. Summer escape with Reeves, Siebert to Colorado. Always seemed to know what he was doing. A real loss to family and the USA. Not forgotten, "Archy".
