Major George Lasley, KY214 Safety Officer Passes Away 18-Jan-11

To find out more about George, click on his picture.

Major George Lasley, a member of the Bowman Field Senior Squadron passed away Tuesday, January 18, 2011. George was the squadron's safety officer who provided our safety briefings each month. George had been a member of the squadron for a little over two years. He had planned on becoming a mission pilot but he lost his FAA medical and could no longer pilot aircraft. Despite this, he was a vital member of the squadron staff and one prince of a guy! Several squadron members attended his memorial service held at Southeast Christian Church. I visited George at the hospital on January 14th and we talked for quite awhile about his time in the U.S. Air Force and he seemed in very good spirits and really seemed like he was at peace with the world. We will miss him......

1LT Don Perkins, a member of the Bowman Field Senior Squadron passed away Friday evening, November 19, 2010. Don who was 82 years old lost his three-year battle with cancer. Don was well known and well liked by all. He really enjoyed his time with the Civil Air Patrol which unfortunately was cut short due to his illness. Don was a consummate gentleman and professional. His last job with the squadron was as our aerospace education officer. Don really pushed the squadron to delve more deeply into this aspect of our CAP mission. He will be missed by all! Happy landings Don. Now you have permanent wings!
