ZDC Retirees Luncheon
Credits to Al Benson #2290
Today the ZDC retirees met for their monthly
luncheon at Shenanigans.
The first picture is of
Jack Roth on the left and John Summers. John entered
CAA/FAA around 1946.
He was for two years in
a Flight Service Station . He came to ZDC in 1948 .
Sometime in the early seventies, he was a Watch
Supervisor at ZDC, but decided to transferred to the
Area Office in Falls Church. He was the Operations
Officer. When they did away with the area office, he
went to Central Flow. John retired around 1979.
I would say John was the oldest former ZDC
member, that may be still living in the area.

Thought you would enjoy pictures of our recent trip to
Boston, with our friends from England, Peter Sylvia Clark.
We stayed at the Newbury Guest House on Newbury Street.
Pictures are of the guest house, the four of us at a park
near Charles River. The old Iron Sides, Constitution. Bunker
Hill monument, Warren Tavern, the oldest tavern in USA. (
1780 ). Revere, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington
frequented the tavern. North Church, where Paul Revere
started his ride. Picture of cobble stone street. The area
in pre-revolution was under water and was filled in and it's
now called back bay area of Boston. Picture of MIT and
Charles river, Large administrative building at Harvard,
George Washington Head Quarters. Ralph Waldo Emerson's
house. Concord, Ma. Cemetery where the patriots were buried
in Concord, Ma. North Bridge, where the first shots occurred

I attended a Basic
Military Training graduation at Lackland last week. class="style14">
On August 23 I stopped at
Tucson, en route First Aero Squadron Aerodrome, Columbus, NM
to Riverside, CA (FlaBob Airport) for lunch with Colonel
Bill Lafferty, USAF Retired. The very last of the B-36
drivers. Bill was in on the Berlin Airlift on the first
night too ... they lifted the daylight only restriction and
ordered him to fly the corridor at night on that opening of
festivities ... The USAF's first cold-war victory.
Bill insisted that we dine at Hooters so we could meet
Ashley. Barry and I reluctantly agreed to do so.

Cruisin’ with Family
Jim Holtsclaw #2738
In February 2012, Carol
and I gathered family (grown children and
grandchildren, 14 in all) and embarked on an
adventure leaving from Port Canaveral Florida aboard
Carnival Ecstasy for a five day cruise with stops in
Key West, Nassau, and Freeport.
Apart from a
few members experiencing mild seasickness, two days
of rain and daughter-in-law falling on wet deck
(outcome….broken shoulder) a fun time was had by
all!!!!
