Grove of 100 Memorial Trees

Had the distinct privilege of being in initial pilot training with Don. He was our class commander. A tremendous leader and friend. Class 68-A, Craig AFB, Selma, AL. July 1966 - August 1967. RIP Sully. We will all rejoin you on our final flights west.

I can´t believe it´s been a year. I still think of him most every day, and wish I could have said good bye. All the trees for him and Rob have been planted. I hope they grow strong and straight in tribute. I hope you all are doing OK, or as well as can be expected. Have a happy holiday.

I must have signed his name hundreds of times on requisitions and reports. It was always Donald Sullivan Sullenberger. I never before saw Shields as his middle name.
