    Don (Mr. Dorsey) to the right myself center and Sgt. J on the left. This was taken in the summer of 1988 at Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin.  I just loved flying with Don. He was always happy and such a pleasure to be around.  What a fantastic guy. You no longer have to worry about A10s almost colliding with us my friend.
