    I knew everyone on board including Ken Reinhard, who was my DO in Korea. Flew with Ralph Gehringer and Jeff Stevens at the Basic UH-60A Aviator's course at Fort Rucker before we were stationed together at Eglin and helped train Jeff Beseke. All of them were solid aviators and great human beings. Rest easy warriors. You will never be forgotten.
