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

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.
