| Message | Hi George Malone, Really glad to hear from you. I did not receive a class book from 54-I as I was transferred to Victoria, TX for the last thirty days. I do remember you at GAFB. I went from Victoria to Mather AFB, CA for B-25 training. Then to James Connally AFB for four years. Great Falls, MT for four years in the KC-97. Bermuda for one year and then to Lockbur A FB, in Columbus, OH for KC-135's. Six years there with two TDY's to Clark, Kadena, Utapeo, Taklee,and Bankock. Retired out of Barksdale in 1973 as a 05. Do you know anyone else from 54-I? Are you still in Marietta? We still live in the Shreveport, LA area. Have you been to the museum at Greenville AFB? Keep in touch. Jim Norris 318-949-0296. |

| Message | I am a cousin of Vincent R Linenkugel who was stationed at Greenville Amry Air Base in 1942. I know that Vincent was a mechanic, but I am not sure if he worked on planes or motor vehicles. Vincent married while at Greenville to Hazel Unknown. He died on 26 Aug 1942 due to heat stroke/carbon monoxide poisoning. His body was accompanied by Sergeant Leo Healy to Columbus OH where his parents lived. Does anyone remember Vincent or know of an existing picture of him? I have looked through the 1942 Annual of GAFB, but did not find a picture. Vincent's parents lost their oldest son 9 years before Vincent's death, leaving his parents with no chilren. I have always been determined that the Linenkugel sons would not be forgotten. Vincent R Linenkugel is listed at the WWII Monument in Washinton. I hope that someone does have some knowledge of Vincent and can maybe help me in finding more information or a picture of him. Thank you! Carolyn |

| Message | Jim Norris. I read your request for contact with a member of 54-I. I graduated in your class. After leaving Greenville I was sent to Ellington for Advanced Multi Engine in the T-29C. In July 1954 I returned to AFCS Air Force Communications Service and spent 18 years flying Flight Inspection Missions out of Robins AFB, Rhein Main AB, Ger, Robins AFB, Ga Wiesbaden AB, Tinker AFB, Clark AB, Saigon, Phan Rang, Udorn, Korat AB, back to Tinker where I retired in 1972. In Flight Inspection I flew the T-33, EC-47's, ET-29C, B-47, EC-54, Sabreliner, and most of the last ten years the C-140 Jetstar. I was an enlisted GCA Controller at Wright Patterson while awaiting our Preflight Training, then Malden AB for Primary before Greenville. I note we were on the same promotion lists, and I see your picture in our Class Yearbook. Graduated from SOS in 57-C, FAA Flight Inspection School in 1956, USAF Instrument Pilot Instructor in the T-39 in 1962, Was Chief of Flight Operations, Chief Pilot, Squadron Commander of several of our Flight Inspection Squadrons. Retired at Tinker as 3rd Mobile AFCS Communications Group Chief of Communications Operations. Live in Marietta, Ga and would be glad to have you contact me. Greenville was where my Father was in WWII with the BT-13 Primary Training. I attended the fifth, sixth and seventh grades in Greenville. As the result I renewed old friendships with school day friends, and teachers. Made the assignment very pleasant. Dick Malone |

| Message | I was a member 54-I graduating May 12, 1954. My wife and I were married in a military wedding in the old Base Chapel 2 hours later. Retired in 1972, Flew the T-28 and then the T-33. During WWII my Dad was at Greenville from 1942-1945 as an Aircraft Inspector. Coming back to Greenville as an Aviation Cadet and reuniting with adult friends from my grade and middle school days was a real treat. My Instructor was Captain Jack Barnes originally from Batesville Arkansas. Last I saw him he was a Lt Col at Spangdalhem AB, Ger in 1960. I completed flying at age 75 with 12,500 flight hours, 900 Combat hours in Vietnam. Live in Marietta, Ga after retiring again from Rollins, Inc. Recommend visiting the Greenville Airfield Museum of base history. Went their to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary in 2004 in our personal Piper Arrow II. Lots of memories from my Dad's time and mine. I retired a Lt Colonel after 21 years. |
