James Cumberpatch

I never knew the Colonel, but I just found out today, while looking at some old military papers of my father´s, that he and my father both graduated from West Point the same year. My father ended up being a test pilot after the war and was killed in 1951 testing a B-47. The other amazing coincidence is that I ended up living near Bethesda MD when I was growing up and one of my classmates was James R Cumberpatch Jr. at Walter Johnson High School. It was the class of 1964. He didn´t end up...

Our condolences to the Cumberpatch family. "Col Jim" is now gone but not forgotten.
