I checked the VHPA site.....no member listing appears for the Family Name of "Shake".
Any idea which unit the fellow flew for in Vietnam?
There might be a Unit Web Page on-line that could be looked up.
Odd thing....my Flight School Class began to return home following a one year tour in Vietnam....exactly Fifty Years ago to the Day.
Some of us are staying in touch today remembering the old times.....and having to deal with being officially known to all as "Old Geezers".
One wound up as a Squadron Commander on U-2'sin the USAF and another as a Senior Development Test Pilot on Ospreys.
Twenty-Nine were killed in action during that one year tour.
