Thank you for all your comments. Jim Waymire of the Villages helped me locate a U-2 pilot that lives in Howey in the Hills and time did not allow for them to get together however, a big THANK YOU to Jim for all his efforts. We did take him to Eisenhower and it was a very moving experience for him. He is a very humble man who spoke to other Vietnam Vets there and thanked them for their service but never once mentioned what he did or that he was there also. He retired in 1975 and flew the U-2C and then the U-2R starting in the late 60's. Again, thank you for your messages.
