Dave and I have been brother close since kindergarten in Titonka, Iowa. I got my pilots license shortly before Dave due to birth dates. (Had to be16 to solo). Dave was the better pilot.. Dave went into the Army a few months before me. We were both Korean vets but, I spend most of my tour in Germany. (Army of Occupation.) After returning we went separate ways. Always stayed in touch, however. Our individual choices worked out well for both of us. Dave and I shared many teenage exploits.. Nuff said.. I miss him every day. We were Best Men at each other´s weddings. He was kind, loyal and my best friend.. See ya later, Buddy.
