At our reunion in June of 2009, I received these orders and a beautiful USAF cap with scrambled eggs on the bill from my good friend Bob Stowers. I am extremely proud to be the leader of such a great outfit. If you have never attended one of our reunions and met all these gallant men of the 58th, well you are missing out. We have a great time.
