In 1968 Bob transferred from Fresno to Hayward where he flew the U-10
and C-130. That airplane later went to Moffett Field where he continued
to fly. As of this writing (2026), Bob is 91 going on 92 and still going
strong. He still stays in touch with the Guard through Howdy. Bob passed
along a bit of advice that most of are acutely aware of, and that is
"Hang onto and enjoy youth." |
