Samuel C. Gale

Sue--sadly learned of Sam's death through the Youngbergs. Common ties: you and I for confirmation, all of us for Washburn '54 and Sam and I both pilots and flying on A-3s Skywarriers while in Navy in Pacific. (I was a Navy flight surgeon). Sympathies and regards.

Sam, if you're listening - and you probably are - I remind you, you are one of those rare people who were always easy to be around on this earthly plane. Your ready smile and upbeat attitude brightened the days of countless people. You were a great listener, too.



Remember that day in 1985 you and I flew to Tahachacapi Glider port? We made that Grobe do some superb airwork that day. I still have a framed photograph as a reminder.



We're all smiling with you, Sam.



Sue, you probably don't remember me - Washburn 53'... but, I'm with you in sadness and fond memories.



Best wishes,



Brad Jones

Sue-So sorry to hear about Sam-I graduated with you and Sam from Washburn- My friend Roger Gustafson told me about Sam's death just today. Sincerely, Tom Clark
