Frank,
Is Walker "Bud" Mahurin still with us or has he passed? Hugh |
Re: American Aces Died in 2008
Bud is still alive, although I believe his health is poor.
Frank. |

Frank,
..while you're here ..can I ask if you know how James Goodson is doing......is he still in my part of the world (Kent, England)...last I heard he was in very poor health ... cheers Neil |
Re: American Aces Died in 2008
Neil,
Jim Goodson has moved back to the US, and lives near his son I believe. He is suffering from Alzheimer's to some extent. I believe when he travels now his son always goes with him; they were at the 4th FG reunion in Texas several years ago. Frank. |
