I never had the pleasure but what a man. Amazing record of service in every aspect of his life.

Worked with him for many years. Great man. Told some

awesome stories. Had a very analytical mind and could come up with unique views of situations. As boy was he a silver-tongued rascal! Good to have on your team in a negotiation.

35 B-17 missions. Lucky guy.


Sep 7, 2020, 6:11 PM

And brave. Wasn't there a 25-mission limit for crews? A Clemson man, "above and beyond!"

Geez..have never understood how a few people can do & accomplish so much!

After 25 missions, crews earned leave stateside but could continue to fly.

And that's what a Clemson man did!

I think it started higher at 35 and was reduced toward the end. MY dad was a waist gunner on a B-24 for 30 from the south of Italy up into Germany and occupied areas. I found mission diary kept by the bombadier. Amazing he came back. Bomb crews had higher mortality than infantry. B-24 was the most produced plane ever. Thank goodness they made them well or 74 wouldnt be here

A beautiful plane.

Even more beautiful when it brings you home 30 times.

My Dad flew a B-17, this was him on the left

Most definitely a life well lived and certainly a valued member on the list of many accomplished GHS and Clemson alumni.
