In September, I went on a Flag City Honor Flight with 80 other veterans to Washington D.C. to view the veteran memorials there.

Bill was my cousin who was 15 years older than me and the oldest member of our generation of Newnhams. Growing up, I admired his service to our country as an air force officer. It was also admirable that he was able to excel in a second career in teaching after his retirement from the air force. Carol and his family are in the thoughts of my family in this time of their loss.

Mr. Newnham, thanks for the inspiration. Know that I could NEVER pay you back for the lessons I learned, but I have done everything I could to pay those lessons forward. BSBD... Fly on my friend, my mentor.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Newnham family. Was lucky enough to be a part of Mr. Newnhams aviation class building the LongEZ for three years and I cherish those times daily. Many dedicate to teaching, but few touch the lives of their students for a lifetime like Mr. Newnham. May he rest in peace.
