Walter Leitch

I had the distinct pleasure of being secretary to Lt Col Leitch at the 343rd Civil Engineering Squadron! He had a great sense of humor, but could turn that off and be ALL Commander in the blink of an eye. He was one of the finest officers I have ever met. He LOVED those airplanes! He had a heart for his subordinates. Heaven´s gain is definitely earths loss! Fly high, Colonel! Deborah Madison

My husband and I were at Eielson AFB; he worked CES and I worked for the base commander. We had already retired to Washington. After Walt retired to Idaho he came to visit us at our home (outside of Spokane) and we were so happy to see him. Sorry to hear about his passing.

I meant Walter and Thelma when our GOODWILL MINTRY TEAM called me and ask me if I could help them repair a cieling fan in their kitchen . I so enjoyed the little time I spent with them in their home . Walter took me into the backyard and showed me his designed garden which really intrigued me .never had I seen a garden so designed . I ended asking him if he mind if I took pictures of it , he said no problem . I will forever remember this couple and whish I had meant them many years ago .
