More detail on this person: I'm hazy on the
class number - but we were 'Silver hats' at Gary
AFB and got our wings at Rucker - I believe on Feb
12, 1957. We were both captains - went to the
Advanced Infantry class before flight school - and
the USC Safety course just after. An AAAA
chapter is named after Jack (I believe he was
killed in an auto
accident in 1977) and surely someone there would
have Ann Dibrell's contact information - and I
believe their son is/was an Army colonel as well.
I have just run across a son of fellow classmate
Eual Cathey - the latter was killed in an aircraft
accident in Vermont in October 1957 - and wanted
to share the contact with Ann. I did not fly
helicopters and was not in Vietnam (altho I was in
the Aviation Directorate in the Pentagon during
the early Vietnam days in the mid-60s). From:
