Horrible story. I got an email from Scott Daugherty (the reporter) who is looking to interview fellow service members. Apparently, friends and family have told him that he served in the Navy as a carrier pilot and catapult officer during the 1960s. PM me if you need further contact info than what's available in the paper. Prayers to him and his family.

What scum. Maybe a local Seal Team needs some extra OJT

Same age/era as BusyBee, but don't recognize the name. Beings how he's in the Oceana area, was probably an AirLant type (I was AirPac only). Lately, I have figured that if I was about to be assaulted by young hoods... I'd try to warn them that their friends, family & trial judge would not be impressed with their beating on a 77-yr. old, disabled Veteran.

Prayers for his speedy & complete recovery.

The people who listen to that kind of reason don't beat up old folks... or anyone for that matter.

There's a retired WO on my hunting board that is good friends with this gent and hunts with him on that property. He reported that at least one of the punks has called and is turning himself in. You know they're local and won't be able to keep their mouths shut and someone knows who they are.

Let's hope the vic recovers and the perps get what's coming to them.

There was a guy by that name on my '61 Guppy Det, but he was an NFO and after two night ditchings in six weeks, turned in his wings.
