The memorial for CAPT (ret) Terry Dudash was held at VAW120 today in their hangar.  RADM (ret) Bill McCarthy provided some great insight as Terry's Executive Officer and critical leadership to ensure Hawkeye overland support during the early days of Desert Shield / Desert Storm.  Both of Terry's children told stories about their dad.  Capping off the memorial was a fly-over of the hangar, with a single bugle playing taps - a fitting tribute to someone who has contributed so much to the Hawkeye/greyhound community.  VAW120 even adorned aircraft 653 with Terry's name.  

There were numerous "old guys" in the crowd - great to see BIlly, Lumpy, Mikey, Melonhead, Crash, Rudy, Spaz, Gan, Dude, Lips.....and many more in the crowd.
​A day of remembrance.

​Norfolk Foundation had an awesome luncheon on October 10th at the Dockside restaurant in Virginia Beach.  There was a BIG crowd (three full tables) and some long distance travelers in attendance - great to see CAPT (ret) Jay "Slime" Wilkins and CAPT (ret) Dave "Ram" Buttram.  It was declared that RADM (ret) Bill McCarthy was the SOPAL (Senior Officer Present At Lunch). 

Hope to see even more folks at the next event in November.  Thanks to Mike Skelly for the photos.
