Hello Steve, I remember a few things from those days in H-5. It's been so long ago. and I my memory isn't as good as it used to be. I am honored that you remember me painting the vigi's paint scheme, and remember the Tumbleweeds Indian I painted up on the planes? I live in a little town called Milton, KY., about 50 miles NE of Louisville, and 60 miles SE of Cincinnati, OH. got some friends that live in Summerville, SC., looks like I have another now. Drop me a line at my email, it's kyhilbilly1@yahoo.com.
Steve, I've only lived here in Eustis for the last 4 years. I'm originally from the Pittsburgh area. My wife has family in Central Florida and around the Tampa area. We really enjoy this area.
