MAJ. SCOTT C. BURGESS, USAF - AUG. 22, 1973

Jack Akin remarks: "We had the same flight instructor at Randolph AFB, TX. Scotty gave him a wild man at a party one night, then ground-looped a T-6, but passed the re-exam and got his wings. So many jokes - he would do a cap flip after the inspection officer passed him in ranks. I have a movie of it. A loveable guy, trumpeter, drummer, piano player, leader of the NA-10, and connoisseur of Texas jack-rabbit steak (well done!) in the  BOQ. He was a B-29 pilot, and a good one, according to Dan, a son, who chatted one day with Scotty's Navigator. Another son, Charley, mentions that Scotty was initially stationed at Travis AFB, CA, flying B-29's; later at Clark Field, The Philippines, then Okinawa, and finally at Hanscom AFB, MA. He left the Air Force in 1956 to run his father's fuel oil business in LaCrosse, Wisconsin."

LT. THOMAS G. MILLER, JR., USNR - OCT. 15, 1971

(LB) "A merchant marine veteran, covered with spurious salt, his principal hobby was acquainting himself with the aviation profession and anything else that caught his fancy.

CAPT. JOHN N. MORRISEY, USN - SEP. 20, 1974

(LB) " Mo hails from Portsmouth, NH. From his high school days there, he brought to Navy a proficiency in baseball and football, along with an above average savvy of basketball.

CDR. THOMAS F. O'NEILL, JR., USN - MAR. 23, 1974

NORMAN S. POTTER - DEC. 28, 1970

(LB) "He amazed all hands with his highly involved methods for solving even the simplest problems. With his amusing, lively sense of humor, he kept many of us chuckling.

LCDR. GORDON A. PRINCE, USNR - JUN. 1, 1973

CDR. ANDREW J. PULLAR, JR., USN - FEB. 1, 1977

CAPT. RICKARD W. SHANNON, USN - JAN. 25, 1973

(LB) "He answers to the name Rick here at the Skunk Farm and sports a faded red mop atop his 5'8" frame. Most always a punk golfer, sometimes a good bowler, and invariably willing to try, Ohio's contribution to the Fifth Company will never be anything but an asset to the U.S. Navy."

CAPT. FREDERICO P. SINLAO, RPN - JAN. 1, 1970
