To Lillian, my old Highwood friend - please accept my condolences on the death of John. While he and I never met, we shared a military commitment of both serving in the US Air Force and the USAF Security Service. I would have loved to have sat down and chatted with you about Security Service - or - as the motto was inscribed: Freedom Through Vigilance. Fly high airman - RIP.
