Another of our classmates has fallen. Seal HUHN, one of the truly nicest guys I've ever known, died of a heart attack on October 18th in Monterey, CA. It seems like yesterday when we who attended the 20th reunion were joking with Seal about our memories of doolie training and his ultimate decision to join the Navy. Although he had lost a little more hair, he was his true jovial self, very proud of his affiliation with AFA and the Navy and loaded with stories and good humor. Seal is survived by his wife, Judy, two sons and daughter. His last station was Virginia Beach (do you remember our Class visit to Virginia Beach during a summer orientation trip?). Condolences can be sent to Judy at 1041 Yardley Landing, Virginia Beach, VA 23462. Word of his passing came to me through BG Tony BURSHNICK, Commander of the 60th MAWg at Travis. Thanks, Tony, and congratulations for becoming one of our first two Class of '60 generals! Lest we forget, others of our class who are no longer with us are Reed WAUGH, Sam WATERS, Don WARE, Don THURMAN, Bob SAPP, Eddie MORTON, J.D. MILLS, Jabo MCCAIN, Dick MATTHEWS, Mike LOVE, Dave LACHELT, Johnny JANSEN, Mike HYDE, Jim FEY, Brian DEEM, Bob DAVIS, Dave BURNS, Fred BOUTZ, Val BORQUE and Jim ANDERSON.

By earlier correspondence, Tony wrote that he had recently run into Dave SWEIGART at Scott, who is waiting to see what assignment the Colonel's Group has in store for him. Also at Scott is Chris WARACK, who has moved from Command and Control to the MAC IG. Pappy BOYINGTON went up to Travis from his business around Oakland to attend the initial meeting of the Northern California Chapter of the AOG. Seems he had some thought-provoking questions for the guest speaker, Bob BECKEL. "It was obvious that Greg hadn't lost any of his talent for keeping the administration honest.

Ted HOPKINS in Cleveland was recently promoted to group vice presi­dent for the Sherwin-Williams Consumer, Chemical Coatings, Automotive Aftermarket, and Container Divisions after joining the company in early 1980 as president and general manager of the Consumer Division, the company's largest manufacturing entity.

A note from Jim ALEXANDER says that he's really enjoying his assignment as Deputy Director for Advanced Projects for the TAFIG near TAC HQ--and bought a new house in Yorktown, VA. Don WOLFSWINKEL has moved from Deputy Base Commander at Charleston to the same job at Travis, the "land of fruits and nuts." He plays golf now instead of basketball. Dave WIEST is a custom jeweler, silver and scrimshaw--business name: The Fine Line--married, no kids, and very happy down in LaLuz, NM.

Jim GLAZA came from Honolulu to his fantastic retirement ceremony at AFA, after which AF beat Army at home--what a weekend! Bob BECKEL presided over the ceremony, which was attended by Jack BRUSH, Gary CREW, Jock SCHWANK, Dick SCHEHR, Cres SHIELDS, Dave REED and Kerry MILLER. Jim is firmly ensconced in C-Springs as a financial services rep. for E.F. Hutton--total financial planning with emphasis on tax shelters.

Dale MAYO lives out in the country near Ottsville, PA and flies as a senior L-1011 flight engineer for Pan Am (15 years) out of Kennedy. He just retired from USAFR as an Academy LO. He and Russ CURREY attended Bob SAPP's memorial at Myrtle Beach. Says that George LESTER, Miles KASPAR, Bob RAGER, and Gary GULBRANSEN are all with Pan Am but never sees them. Dale and Edie have three kids and a foster child, flies his Stearman (NEVER FOR SALE), two 150's, a 1962 Navion and part of a Cherokee 180. "I did regret leaving USAF for a long time, but if the new pay keeps generals from making over $50,000, guess I won't complain too much. I can't imagine the frustration the active duty guys endure these days." Well, folks, I was getting ready to make captain with Western only to learn that I might be on furlough as you read this--­just got to get that business started! Anybody else?

This photo of Ron YATES was accompanied by a note saying that he expects to taxi the Wright-B Flyer soon--loves his job as Commander of the Test Wing, flying nine different types of aircraft.
