O. A. Lindell, Airman First Class says
I served in the United States Air Force with you father at Truax Field, Madison Wisconsin in the early 1969s. I remember when you were born. This was before Gary was reassigned to Tyndall AFB, Florida and I was reassigned to Thule AB, Greenland. Airman First Class Redeagle worked in the same office that I did and, for awhile anyway, we both lived in the same barracks. Rest in peace. Tell your father thanks for his service.
