January 26, 2008.
Chapter 17 members gathered in flying fellowship to celebrate the
accomplishments of the members and their projects.
Our guest Speaker humbled all in attendance with his experiences in service to
America, when, as an enlisted airman, his downed-pilot rescue mission landed him
as a POW for 7 1/2 years of dehumanization at the hands of our enemy.
Thanks to all who attended, and a special gratitude, where words are inadequate,
to Captain Bill Robinson USAF (Ret.), for his courage, commitment, and
patriotism. All were evident in his presentation, which came from his heart.
