Other Comments:
I served with Dwayne at Bergstrom, A.F.B., He was a good friend, and we worked together in the ground power shop. In our free time he was one of my fishing buddies. He was from a town that was a few hundred miles from anywhere out in west Texas. I lost track of Dwayne after service, then found out just a few years ago that he had passed in 1975. I don't know what happened to Dwayne, or how he passed. I wanted to remember my friend so I put up this page for him on T.W.S. R.I.P. Dwayne.
