A fellow member of the 3rd Air Police Squadron

I remember Bob. I was also an AP. A few night's before the fateful lightening strike, Bob and I were enjoying a beer together outside of the Air Police club. That's the last time I saw him. He was such a good guy. On the day he died, I was lying in my bunk when I heard a loud explosion. That's when the lightening hit the watchtower he was in. Had their been lightening rods in those towers, he might not have died. After his death, lightening rods were installed.
