Default James R. Gannett died

I just read in "GA News: that Jim Gannett died.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/...ettobit21.html


That obit says

"Gannett was best known in the Northwest for co-piloting a Boeing 707
jetliner that performed two barrel rolls over Lake Washington in
1955."

Is that correct? Wasn't it Tex Johnston? Was Gannett the copilot?
