In Memoriam

"Bullit" was a true officer and a gentleman, he was a wonderful friend and made everyone around him laugh.....

David loved to fly, it was all he ever wanted to do. He loved his country and his family and friends and would have done anything for them. He is truly missed.

Capt. Curtis-Robinson,

Sir, I gave you your last ride out to your jet. I still remember my last words to you, "I still owe you 30 bucks Captain, I'll have it for you when you get back".

I dropped you off, and went to the bank and to lunch. When I got back to the duty desk, I was told what happened. Trying to rememer anything else that happened later that day is hard, somethings I remember, some are hazy, most of them.....

You were were one of the very rare GOOD pilots. By that, I mean you didn't talk down to us enlisted types, or treat us like one your personal servants or some kind of sub-human creature. You treated us with a respect. You treated us as humans, and if were going to get stuck in a bad place, for a year, we may as well make the best of it.

I never got to say, "Thanks"! I hope it didn't come too late.

By the way, I still owe you that 30 bucks.
