Joe and I were fellow Naval Aviators in a unit stationed in Pensacola.
We taught incoming Flight Instructors about the dangers of inverted spins in the T-34 which was in use at the time.

He was also a great Acy-Ducy player.  The group partied a bit also!

We compared  logbooks once and figured out that we had soloed one day apart in 1946. At  the time both of us were at the tender age of 16,  at opposite ends of the country.  CA and NY.

We kept in touch by email.

May he find fair winds and following seas.
