Bud is still alive, although I believe his health is poor.

Re: American Aces Died in 2008
So many in such a short period. May they all rest in peace.
It's frustrating for me to learn, posthumously, that I lived so near to so many (I'm in central Florida and travel the entire state). Is there a source where I can find out who is still in my neck of the woods such that I may contact for interviews etc, ? |
