Missing our crazy talks. Still can't believe you're gone. Your McClellan military buddies thinking of you also. Unfortunately, you had way too many that were awaiting you.

I have known Pete since the mid 70s when we were stationed together at McClellan AFB CA. I talked to him I believe in Jan and have been wondering why I haven't heard from him lately. We usually talk a few times a year. Something made me "google" his name. I couldn't believe it. I have tried calling him home phone trying to reach Kate. Can someone/anyone please contact me and let me know what happened. He has MANY military friends who also are going to be as shocked as me. Also my husband was his supervisor in the AF. He visited my home many times over the years in Sacramento. My email is [email protected]. My home phone is 916-348-9534. If I am not home please leave a message and I will definitely call back. I know this message is not appropriate for this site but I have run out of ways to find a family member. Thank You
