After WORWAC flight school class 66-11 Terry joined 17 of his WO1 classmates in Ft. Lewis Washington to form A Co. 4th Avn. 4th Inf Div and arrived in Pleiku Vietnam in January 1967 on a C-141. A major infusion took place in February 1967 and Terry and several of his classmates moved down the runway to D trp. 1/10th Cav. Terry volunteered for the Gun platoon flying Charlie models. In January 1968 he rotated out to flying guns along the border in Germany. In August 1969 he left the service and found a job flying a traffic helicopter. He was less than happy with the maintenance and became an Air Traffic Controller until the big strike. He then went into Computer Support for the phone company where he worked until his death while on vacation with his wife Cheryl visiting his beloved daughter Emily with the Peace Corps in Belize.

Terry loved attending many VHPA reunions and Class 66-11 reunions with his beloved buddies. He loved traveling with his wife Cheryl throughout the US, and to his native Canada, the UK, and Paris. He loved riding his Honda PC800, watching NASCAR, and playing with his high tech toys relating to computers and photography. We will all miss him a lot.
