I was at Tyndall AFB, FL. on temporary duty, out of Langley AFB. VA. in about 1972 and had to go to the parachute shop for a drag chute problem on a F-106, and ran into Larry Sherer, we talked about all of you for a while then I finished my short visit to Tyndall and headed back to Virginia. I didn't see him again until I retired from the Air Force in 1979, and ran into him again in Frankfort.
