Thanks for allowing me to serve with you. You and Eleanor were great people. CWO4 GENE HUNST, USN, RET (Admiral's writer)

Joe and I made a Med Cruise together in Air Wing 10 aboard USS Shangri La back in the early '60s. He was CO of VF-62 and I was in VA-46 at the time. Later, We later worked at Jacksonville University together; he as VP for Operations and I as Professor of Aeronautics in the aviation degree program. Joe was a good friend and a superb aviator.
I attended his memorial service today as one of the honorary pallbearers representing the Golden Eagles but missed the opportunity to sign the guest...
