My sincere condolences to Joan and family
Joan, I was so sorry to hear of your husband’s death. Please know I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
I remember you fondly from our Welcome School days!
Connie.
Jim was my great friend and fellow B52 Navigator. I respected his great skills working with him as a navigator team in the B52. We had total confidence in each other performing our dangerous missions. RIP Kent
