I was also a member of class 53C at Greenville ,Miss. Desire Van Gerwen (157) was my roomate at the time. I did not see him again until I was on a trip to Belgium in the late 1970"s. I met his family and had a great visit. Unfortunately as you know he was killed flying his little By Plane in and airshow not longer after that. I do not have any of the details but I did visit with the family once again while on a trip to Brussels.
I wish more Cadet classes had a similar web site so that we might remain in contact.
Thank you.

Wonderful site !
Congratulations to the author. He must have been passing many hours and days to realize this site.
I send by email you a photograph of the badge of the 3566th Training Squadron we were in at Waco James Connally Air Force Base in 1953.

Suggestion : pages describing each plane we flew during our training : T6, T28, T33 and F84G (as far as I am concerned).
