Met Art in 1970 when I was stationed at WAFB when I returned from Vietnam. I was assigned to the AR Shop along with Art. Taught me a lot about the B-52 and KC-135. Also taught me how to sharpen (hone) my pocketknife with a whet stone. A little spit goes a long way. Hehehe! We ran into each other every once in a while, around town. We both stayed in the area after the Air Force. He was a good man! God Bless you Art you will be missed.
