Jim says:

"I found the Kobbe Kids site ...contacted Sandy Newberry Andersen for some information and thankfully some one who was at Kobbe when I was there ...I was fortunate to have been selected to drive the staff car for Col Richardson ...Lt Col Hilton ...and finally Gen Byars. Great duty and people. Spent lots of time at the headquarters building and was honestly sorry to leave the assignment."

He currently lives in Florida.
