[303rd-Talk] TAPS

[Gary Moncur]

Mary Joe,
I am so very sorry to hear this.....  what a day this has been.  The 
news of your dad's passing completes a "triple whammy" for me.  We 
also lost Hellen Hallum, wife of pilot Bert.  Like your family, we 
had talked often.

I have updated the website..... may he rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Gary
