Got an e-mail from Tom Trebby call sign "Obnoxious". He was A/C on Gator 390 the day it was shot down in Happy Valley. I gave him this address and we have talked some. Good news is that he is in contact with Dick Vedder. He was the crewchief with him when they went down. He was evaced to Japan and we lost track of him. Well he is alive and well in Spokane Washington. He remembers many of the names from this site. The bad news is that Ed Thornton call sign "Thunder" was killed in a mid air in 1976. He was the A/C on Gator 390 the day "Shiffy" was killed. Tom's e-mail is TTrebby@aol.com. We need to get on his butt and have him check into the site. See you later.
