Had not known about Billy Ray. Frank Richardson from the office passed two years ago. I ran into one of his daughters in Pensacola and she told me. My two tries as an instructor got cut short by the Wing getting me back into the AIMD world. One at Jax and the best at the University of Florida. At Sanford I got the SATE code and they kept me in AIMD from different squadrons from 1964 till 1977. I do not know if you remember the photomate Fitzgarld. He lves just three blocks from me. Me visit with Ralph Fockler we talked about how George Beers from Module repair has changed in the last few years and Bill Harkness from the Power Plant shop across the street had became a nurse after he retired.
"I called Chief Fockler about a month before the reunion. I was trying tolocate billy Ray Thomas......i found out much to my dismay that he died about thirteen years ago in san Antonio, Tx. Did you ever teach at nattc memphis."
