Reading the article in the Syracuse Post Standard about the airmen who were killed in the fire on hilltop I think of my father who was a Syracuse City Fireman stationed at engine 8 on the corner of Colvin and Salina St. He was at that fire and every time we drove by those barracks when I was a kid he would always say how sad it was that those young men lost their lives in that fire. It deeply affected him. How glad I was to see that they will always be remembered because I still say a little prayer every time I drive by. It may look different but for some the memory remains.

Was a 292x1 at Darmstadt from May 68 to Nov 69. Worked on Dog Flight. Loved the tour of duty and the travel. Left in Nov 69 for the 6994th at Tan Son Nhut Air Base in Saigon, Vietnam. I was supposed to stay in Germany, but a fellow Dog Flight 292x1 who was married and his wife became pregnant, switched orders with me. The order change was approved by Col. Davidson, wing Commander. I'd like to find Randy. I think his name was Randy White, or some other last name. Anyone know?
