4/03/1964 an F5 tornado hit Shepard AFB in Wichita Falls, TX. I was supposed to arrive there from San Antonio later that same week. Ended up staying in San Antonio for another week.

Never forget the destruction that we saw when our bus got near the base. The one thing that still sticks in my memory is seeing a railroad tie bent up and twisted like a pretzel. If I live to be a 100 I'll never forget that sight.


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
