Richie and I were stationed at Edwards AFB CA at the time of Richie's death (Aug '65). Richie was assigned as a Flight Test Engineer, a 'Utilization' Tour following MS Aero training at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He was killed during his U-8 Transition Training when he and his IP got into bad weather. Richie had the Complete Package: brains, ability and a tremendous 'can do' attitude. He was a devoted husband to Carol and father to his children. He now rests in peace with the Lord. |
