Thanks Rob for sharing this. This hits home as my Dad was born in the same year and passed away last month. My father also served in the US Airforce.

I remember my Dad fondly talking about those 50’s teams.

Sorry for your loss, D.

I've read a lot about those 50s teams and have had the good fortune to interview guys from that era. Some great stories.

That would be some fun reads or interviews for sure.
