Just had a nice email from Tom Ford from my brother's class, 1968. Tom was our neighbor on Thornwood Lane in Fayetteville. He was a Navy helicopter pilot. He writes: " I’m a retired US Navy Captain, helicopter pilot. I've been living/working in Sevastopol as Senior U.S. Advisor to the Ukrainian Navy since 2005. I have 3 sons: Cliff, Stephen, and Tommy Jr; also 3 granddaughters. Cliff is a Marine Captain flying the H-46 helicopter, which is the same helo I flew during my career. He returns to Iraq next Spring for his 3rd tour. I was married to Laurie Hamel; we divorced in 2005."
Tom filled me in on the comings and goings of our neighbors on Thornwood Lane. Very interesting. The Class of '68 is due for their 40th reunion in 2008.
