John Mustard responds and sends in photos

"Attached is the last aircraft I painted. It is a Douglas AD-5 (A1-E), like we used in Vietnam. You get an idea of the size by the people around it at our dedication. It took 8 gallons of finish paint, and I painted it in sections it is so big."

John Mustard responds and indicates that he and Margie will make plans to attend the Class of 55 reunion in August. He said that they will make the reunion a "stop-over" on their way to the Alaska cruise in August as well. Thanks John, the photos are quite impressive. We will be looking forward to seeing you and Margie on August 21st at the Class reunion.
