Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
John Irwin, Bill Bycraft were my mentors into the Photo Interpretation Specialty. I learned from them how to readout and report on aerial photographs.  I also did some Air Force 200 series Aeronautical Chart updating.
I was released from active duty at the end of my ROTC 3 year committment in September, 1962.  We moved back to Lafayette, LA with my wife and our daughter.  One other child was on the way and was born at the end of September in Lafayette.
