Never ceases to amaze me what a small world. Gary and Kayleen, I live in Plattsmouth Ne now but was born and raised in Cottage Hill.My brother Doug married Wanda Amerson. Any relation? My Air Force career started in 1968. In 1973 I was assigned to Offutt. My job…. To work on EC-135 Looking Glass.repairing and maintaining all the electronics and some times flew as an RM. In 1977 DOD moved the E-4B from Andrews to Offutt..and the assigned fleet of E-4B’s were added to aircraft I helped and maintained. I also flew on them. We have probably met in the radio room on board. I retired in Aug 1991. The one picture was taken in the alert facility because you can see an E-4 on the ramp through the window of the room you were in. what a small world!

In a world that has gone mad, it is refreshing to be reminded of the high standards of those connected to strategic air command. Mutual assured destruction once was a deterrent to all out nuclear war, but in this mad world we live, sanity is the exception, and not the rule, and it is reassuring that good people are there to make sure sanity will prevail.
