Subject: LOCATING A RETIRED PILOT Gary Williams
Good Day,
I am hoping to locate a friend who was or still is a pilot with Delta Airlines. He would be in his late 60s, so I'm assuming that he'd be retired.
Gary Williams, and my family, go back many years. We met back in 1976 when he was a Midshipman in the Navy out of Whidby Island, Washington. My father, Fred West, was the Commanding Officer of the Navy and Marine Corp Reserve Center, Treasure Island, California. My father was a Captain at the time and has recently passed.
We were in contact with Gary up until I moved out of the area in 1980. I understand that he gained his pilot's wings and flew with the Navy for several years. He apparently retired and went to work for Delta Airlines sometime prior to 2001. My understanding is that he was based out of the Atlanta, Georgia hub.
Is there any way of getting in contact with Gary? Can someone let him know that I'm trying to reach out to him? I truly appreciate any assistance you may be able to offer.
Warmest regards,
Jackie (West) Moulthrop shok-leen@comcast.net

Subject: Arrest of 2 pilots in Arkansas smuggling
drugs in early 1980s
Mark,
Reader of the
High Life since the beginning and great admirer of your work. Thanks are
not enough to appreciate what you do!
Trying to find
the names of the 2 guys who were arrested in Arkansas smuggling a plane load of
drugs - hoping your memory is better than mine.
I’ve tried google
and everything else without success. I think the event is just too old.
Thanks

retirement pics the passengers drew for him
To: misc.pcn@gmail.com <misc.pcn@gmail.com>
Hello,
My name is Arthur Gibson Howell, current Delta 350 pilot. In Dec of 2004 I was copilot for Capt Timothy Earl Eldredge’s (Dal Emp # 981771) retirement flight. I just found a stack of hand drawn airplane pictures and notes from the passengers to Capt. Eldredge that I asked them to make for his flight. I would love to get them to him!
I have been unable to locate him or get a phone number and the # Delta has on file is not his number anymore. I’m hoping your organization might have his contact information or be able to post this to see if anyone knows how to get a hold of him. The last thing I remember is he was moving to Anchorage, Alaska and possibly fly for Thai Airlines.
Any help in getting his retirement memorabilia to him would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Arthur Gibson Howell

Dear Mark:
Happy Christmas Eve.
When I received my wings and left PNS on October 1, 1965, my first squadron was VR-3 at McGuire AFB, Wrightstown, NJ. Flying C-130’s in support of MATS and that was my first choice.
My neighbor at base housing at McGuire was an Air Force pilot named Steve Lukefahr. He went on to fly for TWA but lost track of an Air Force buddy of his named John W. Jensen, who was hired by DL circa 1969 and based ATL.
I you could please publish this in your next PCN and maybe someone can reply to me at DeltaRetired@comcast.net.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your entire family and all at the PCN.
Jim Horan
