More detail on this person: Survivors: Wife - Lynn Slaughter, Baton Rouge, LASon - Phillip Gary Slaughter, Jr., Laurel, MSDaughters - Brandi Smith, Casper, WY; Janie Slaughter, Dallas, TX

Gary became a member of VHPA at the 2nd reunion in Houston, TX. He loved VHPA, served as Reunion Chairman for the 1st New Orleans reunion and served as VHPA President from July 1991 to July 1992. Gary's member number was 633 - I remember him thinking at first he was late finding VHPA, and then later on being proud that his number was so low, but even prouder of the work VHPA has done finding so many fellow pilots. Our family was involved in VHPA early on and our daughter Janie was one of the "I'm a VHPA Kid" who made many friends at the reunions.
