Wigs was the real thing. The kind of guy everyone wants working for them.
The kind of guy everyone wants to work for. Knew him when he was off his
first tour as a TG instructor and again in Va Beach when I was his son's
Webelos scout leader. The Ultimate Class act!

Only the Navy would take such great pleasure in devouring its most promising
young.

Doug- Wigs was my CAG in CVW-15 circa 91-92. A LEGENDARY aviator and
all
around
great guy. The whole air wing idolized him. Flew the Hornet, the Tomcat
(day/night), and got qualled in the SH-60 (even as a HAC IIRC). BRBR

A SHAME what the USN 'leadership' did to him. Took a promising, Flag bound
Naval Officer and Aviator and crushed the life out of him.

Tailhook '91 hurt a lot of fine people so that turds like Kelly and others
could get their next star.
