Paul Melvin Reed

Paul was one of my oldest and dearest friends out of the Mohawk and Imagery communities. He was "Boss Hawk" and I was "SPUD 19." I worked with him while we were in DC together and as a contractor in California. This is such a sad occasion for me. I admired and respected him as much as you can. I'll sure miss you old buddy. You were one of a kind. Wish I had known you moved back east, I would have made it a point to visit. George P. Davis III, MAJ MI (Ret.) SPUD 19

Paul was a great friend and professional protégés, he was held in high regard by all who knew him. Paul was a consummate professional and accomplished aviator who has made his final flight west. Farewell my friend, may you have smooth air, blue skies and tailwinds always on your journey west.
