      Born July 23, 1924 Kansas City, Mo. W0EBC-1947. Hq. Co. 4th Inf. 10/14/1944 to
      11/25/1946.
      On 18th birthday, after attending Midland Radio and TV School in Kansas City, Mo. and
      receiving Radio Telegraph and Telephone licenses, was hired by Braniff Airlines as radio
      operator. Radio telegraphy was used to send and receive requests for flight reservations
      and operational messages, and Radio Telephony to maintain contact with aircraft.
      WWII began and with deferments, was requested to train female radio operators but
      soon after was drafted and shipped to serve with the 25th Infantry Division in Luzon,
      Phillippines. At wars end we were sent to Japan and was later able to transfer to Hq. Co.
      Inf. Sig. Corp. Tech 4. Returned to Braniff and found telegraphy was being replaced with
      teletypes. Teletypes eventually replaced by computers. I unwittingly let my ham license
      expire, hope to get it back, W0EBC has not been reassigned. In 1964 was able to transfer
      into Radio and Electrical Line Maintenance and then, before Braniff's demise, to Lead R&E
      Mech.
      Have been blessed with two women in my life. My first wife Ellen was a Braniff Radio
      Operator. We had a daughter and shortly after, Ellen passed on. My second wife
      Rosemary still puts up with me. We have three great children, four grand children and two great grand children. cil320@yahoo.com
