Notes:
Died on his father's 59th birthday while home on leave from Howard AFB, Panama. It was snowing very heavily and he and his friend (James (Jimmy) Russell Howard from Spottsylvania) crashed head on into a tractor trailer on Rt. 29 in Amherst County. It is unknow which was driving.
Calvin gave Gene HC's Demolay ring after HC's death.
HC was buried with Gene's "original parachute wings" since HC was the one that convinced Gene to go into the Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller (CCT Special Ops)
HC was dating an American dependant while in Panama and it was getting to be a rather serious relationship. Gene met with her while he was in Panama and she was a very pretty girl and very nice.
One time while living in Hanover Courthouse, HC and James (Jimmy) bought an old car in Fredericksburg and drove it all the way back with no brakes, except for the clutch and parking brake. They made it with a few hair raising moments.
Living In:
They had a trailer beside the store. The store is still there. One day Calvin decided that HC needed to lose weight, so he made him dig a 2' ditch around the trailer and then fill it back in. All this was because HC loved his moon pies and cartons of milk (and a lot of other sweets) and put on a lot of weight. HC never went back to a lot sweets again and retained his much lower weight.

Air Traffic Controller

Stationed at Howard AFB, Panama as an Air Traffic Controller
