More detail on this person: Pemoller Can't Fly

I went to flight school with a guy named Kenny Pemoller. He was a great guy. well liked by everyone and a great practical joker. Right from the beginning, he was having trouble learning to hover and someone wrote on the wall at one of the stagefields; "Pemoller Can't Fly". Soon it began turning up everywhere, like the old WWII "Kilroy Was Here" - in the company area, in the mess halls - in Downtown Mineral Wells - EVERYWHERE! The IP's got hold of it and made matters worse. It was even found on the board in the flight briefing room. It even followed him to Rucker and haunted him there.

Sadly, Kenny passed away after he left the army, may he rest in piece. He was an easy going gentle soul and a pleasure to be around.
