It's rare in the military that an active duty husband and wife get the opportunity
to share a retirement ceremony. This was not only special to me and
Jim, but to our family and the many people we worked with throughout our careers.
Jim was a Communications/Navigation system Specialist working the HF, VLF/VHFradio systems, satellite communication
systems and radar systems of the jet. After climbing the ranks, he became a production supervisor over 3 different Aircraft
Maintenance units.
I was a Electro-environmental systems Specialist...being an electrician, I nearly worked every aspect of the jet and
then some...the environmental portion of my job was maintaining the oxygen, pressurization, air/heat, and fire extinguishing
systems of the jet.
We sat at the front in the place of honor with Colonel Gapinski. He is
a truly wonderful man. He was happy to officiate our ceremony since he knew us so well during our 10 years at Offutt.
