Colonel Donald James Matthew Blakeslee - Fourth FG Commander - 15.5

Passed away quietly in his sleep in the early evening of September 3, 2008. Just nine days short of his 91st Birthday.

BLAKESLEE, Donald James Mathew, 14.5, September 3, 2008, at home, and thus presumably Goulds (Miami), Florida

EVENSON, Eric Alvin, 8.25, September 13, 2008, Branson West, Missouri

KARGER, Dale Ernest, 7.5, October 5, 2008, Beaver, Pennsylvania

Rest in Peace, gentlemen.

Frank.

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, ?

Re: American Aces Died in 2008
YORK, Robert Miles, 5, September 19, 2008, Scarborough, Maine

A late discovery:
GRAHAM, Vernon Earl, 5, January 2, 2006, Santa Maria, California (?)

Recent research has discovered:
BROWN, Robert Harold, 7, December 20, 1975, Norwood, Massachusetts

And I believe that Robert Reynolds died in December 28, 1977, in Orlando, Florida, but I have been unable to match the ace with the deceased (other than the names are the same, with the same birth year, and the ace listed Orlando as his hometown).

RIP.

Frank.
