      Hi Larry,
      Hope this is the right format to send this information.
      Bill Addy died last night in his sleep of an apparent heart attach. Just spoke with Marci Fogg who wanted me to send this information to you for the alumni website.Bill had several strokes over the past two years but was doing well, living in a lovely facility in San Francisco. Several of us had been in touch with him very recently and he seemed well, memory good and the only residual problem from the strokes was the ability to walk well without a walker. The information of his death last night comes as a shock to all of us who were in contact with him.
      Will forward any additional information as soon as it becomes available

          Thank you Aimee for letting me know about Bill. I also received a message from Marci that I posted to all the members of the World Alumni and I will also post it on the Alumni Website. Bill was an inspiration to us all with his will to live a normal life following his health problems and he will always be remembered by his friends at World Airways. May he rest in peace.

          Jim, thanks for catching the error on the website listing. I made the change to jameswoa32@gmail.com on there and I’ll also check the email listing I use for sending out messages to everyone just to make sure I have it correct there. Hope all is well in Utah and hope to see you at the Vegas reunion this year.

              Jim, I checked my other email listing and I have jameswoa32@gmail.com there so you should get any group emails I send out. Also, sorry about the “Utah” comment, I should know it’s Idaho.

      Larry,Many thanks for all the effort and time you put into running the site and keeping the worldwide(!) ‘WO Family’ connected!I have, I hope(?), a simple question, namely
      What was the tail number of the B727 that operated the now famous last flight of Danang? And maybe the tail number of the other B727 that flew in formation to assess damage, etc!Looking forward to hearing from you,
      Cheers,
      Graham Baker
      Cleburne, Tex@$$!

          Graham, I’ll see if I can find out the tail numbers for you, I’ll have to do some research on photo’s to see if I can read the numbers and I have a couple of contacts at the museum that may know. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

          Graham, I made the change to Cleburne on the email listing. Thanks for letting me know about it. I’ve been going through trying to make sure the listing is up to date but I often don’t have current information unless someone goes into the new “MailChimp” messaging system and provides an update.Have a great week….

      I don’t know if it’s possible to cut the whistling when a particular item with audio is selected but the whistling is covering the audio.

          Jim, there is a small tab on the lower right corner of the screen that shows two bars or an arrow. Just select that button and it will turn the audio on or off. Let me know if that doesn’t work.Larry J.

      Hi Larry:
      Did anyone take pictures at the Las Vegas Reunion? I did not make it. I would like to view any pictures of the WOA group that made it. I live near Nampa, Id. and the first Tuesday of every month at the War Hawk museum approximately 125/140 ex. military members meet for coffee and donuts. It’s amazing how many ex Viet Nam Veterans are showing up and wearing ball caps with Viet Nam Vet slogans on them. Twenty years ago no one wanted to be associated with the Viet Nam war. They are coming out of the closets now any are proud to have been a part of the history. Going to the meeting monthly is a high lite for me. I joined the Navy during the Korean conflict, but I consider myself a” Viet Nam Vet” On one of the meetings our guest speaker was 3 star General Smith from Mountain Home Air Base. He said that when we were flying into Viet Nam with WOA under a DOD contract we qualified as a Vietnam Veteran.
      I really miss my WOA family, but not the constant flying all over the world. I have my youngest Son living here in Boise and I am able to participate in family affairs with Family and Grand Kids.Thanks for keeping up the web site.Regards
      Jim Reese

          Howdy Jim.The pictures from the Las Vegas reunion are on the Alumni News Page in a slide show format. All you need to do is click on the Alumni News tab and go down to the title Las Vegas Reunion and then click on the right side of the picture of Lyman and it will bring up the next slide. There are over a hundred of them, most with captions. Nancy Pippin, Joe Cashes, Gene Venita and Liz Ayala were good enough to send the photos they took. I didn’t get to go either, had to cancel at the last minute due to a medical issue, but I plan on making the next one for sure.It sounds like you have quite a gathering with the Vets, and it’s great to be close the grandkids, I’m kept pretty busy chasing my two around to ball games and dance recitals, etc. Nobody told me I’d need a scheduler in retirement.Have a great week my friend …..

          I recently participated in a panel discussion of VN vets (and me) at two different community meetings. It was on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the TET offensive. Whenever the war is discussed, I say I was there but not a veteran. Is there any way to check out the information that Jim Reese was given by General Smith that we can consider ourselves VN vets. I would love to know just for clarification, not for benefits. Who would we ask?Thanks,
