Air Force on Aug. 15, 1951, recently gathered for what marked their 50th anniversary date of enlistment. Ray Deadmond, 69, Carl Starwalt, 68, Gene Fear, 68, Ron Carruthers, 67, and Bob Mesnard, 67, joined the Air Force at what was then the start of the Korean War when they were 17 to 19 years old. After leaving from Greenup, the men were sent to Sampson Air Force Base near Geneva, N.Y., for their basic training, where the five remained in the same squad for at least 8 weeks. Technical school took them in different directions and they lost track of one another for about 20 years.

Starwalt Fear and Carruthers retired from the Air Force in 1971 and went on to other careers. Mesnard and Deadmond left after four years in the service to other careers. "I don't suppose all five of us have been together all at once since 1951, like we are now," said Fear. The men spent the evening with their wives reminiscing about days gone by. All but Deadmond have retired from working.
