Mike was my boss in the early 1970's at England AFB, LA. We both shared a love of the awesome C-47. His leadership, and the amazing example that Pedie set, showed me that women can reach any goal. Pedie, you showed me that women can do great things! I owe both of you so much! Ron and I know how long Mike suffered from multiple health challenges, and find some comfort knowing that his pain is over. We are sending our love to the whole Radowski family. Ron's sad losing his AFNOA buddy. Lord, please grant your servants peace during this difficult time.
