Congratulations, Mitch! By the way, I went on an Honor Flight for veterans to
Washington, D.C. this past weekend, which was actually a bus trip this time.

! Here's a photo of the shirt they gave each of us; that's definitely a glider,
there. Forgot to ask where that bridge is. Maybe Watkins Gken or Robert Treman
state parks? Maybe Pennsylvania, since it's the Twin Tiers chapter

I recall that one of the Sliwas, second son of Ken and Shirley Sliwa, was a
Naval officer and I think was an LSO on a carrier. Would he have been a pilot
then? I'm guessing that he was rated. Steve, his older brother, was at one
time chancellor of Embry-Riddle. Both were outstanding juniors.
Ken was a Navy pilot in his day and owned a Grob 109. Shirley was the director
of the soaring museum.
I guess I have to admit that I'm old and forgetful. . . . Who remembers or
knows the first name of the younger brother?

Quoting Sean Murphy <murphsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:murphsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>>:
Our own Mitch Johnson has passed the last background check and is off
for Navy OCS in Rhode Island next week!!!
It is a pilot slot unless he?s disqualified along the way. Let?s send
our prayers and best wishes with him.
Potentially he would be our first Jr. member to be a Navy pilot. Can
anyone think of another?
Way to go, Mitch,
