http://www.pownetwork.org/bios/g/g365.htm I find it interesting that his ID card was found....wouldn't seem like that would be possible with the type of crash listed here.

I spoke with his widow. Go here for a story about him and his shoot down. http://www.virtualwall.org/dg/GriffinJL01a.htm After the war, his wife remarried to a guy who was a POW for 7.5 years.

I was airborne on an Alpha Strike the day Mike Penn on the same strike, was shot down.

I thought we had all made it out safely, when upon egress we heard all the stuff going on, on Guard, that an A-7 had been shot down, and SAR was alerted.

Mike's name is on our "In Memoriam" cruise book page. Thankfully, he was later repatriated. Some others were not so lucky. I really never knew him very well, but I surely remember his shoot down and hearing of his POW experience.

You can see his name near the bottom of this CVW-5, USS Midway 1972-73 cruise book thumbnail in the POW section:

Pigpen is retired from the line at Southwest but is still a chief pilot at the Houston base. A great guy and a class act.

Thanks for posting that. It's good to hear after many years.
