David's Latest Interactions
"Duke" was a great guy. I joined the Soldier's Chorus in 1959 and departed in June of 1962. During that time I remember Duke as a happy-go-lucky guy. Farewell, old friend. Dave Hamilton
So very sorry to see that the 75th celebration had to be canceled. I am now 86 years old and my days are getting numbered. Dave Hamilton, Class of 1962.
Dick was a fun guy, too. He drove an English MG. I remember his driving that car to and from Tulsa one Winter. He dam near froze to death by the time he got to the "BQ" where a lot of single-band guys were housed.

Larry and I began our friendship 77 years ago when we both were in the second grade at Plesant St. School in Ashland, Ohio. We maintained our grade school, high school, college, and USAFB days. together.. After our Field band days we went our seperate ways, but maintained our friendship via corrospondence and actually visiting with each other a few times each passing year.. He was a very good musician, an excellent teacher, and a loyal friend. He will be missed by many.
Dr. David Hamilton, formerly Spc. 5 David Hamilton, member of Soldier's Chorus 1959-62.
Jack and I arrived and left the band in the same months and years. Sorry to hear of this tragic accident. I believe Jack had been drum majot of his college band. He was proud to be a member of USAFB. My condolences to his family.
