[Thumper]

I apologize for breaking protocol by posting on this thread. I learned today that an old friend, George Petrie, died quietly in his sleep in Greenville, TX last night. Major Petrie (then Lieutenant Petrie) was the first Raider on the ground, during the Son Tay raid, when he was thrown from the door of his helicopter.
Again, sorry for posting when not vetted, but I thought the members would want to know about a Raider's passing.
