    384th Bomb Group, Inc. News & Journal “Keep The Show On The Road...” June 2019 England Junket XI Reunion Anticipation Builds As you read this, most likely Junket XI reunion attendees will be either on their way to Cambridge, England or are already there. From talking to some of them, and seeing the online posts of others, I know that there is a great deal of anticipation and excitement for the trip on both sides of the Atlantic. A significant number of the attendees have never been to Grafton Underwood, so it will have an even greater impact on them. I remember my first visit to Grafton Underwood; the smell of the woods, the wind in the trees, the soft rain, the quiet anticipation. The place is dense with stories and lives past. It whispers to you. And the impact of it has never really left me. I’m sure it will be the same for them as well and will sustain them in their devotion to the Group in the years to come. For our attending Veterans, it will bring back memories of friends, the stories, their youth, the hard work of the missions and their homecoming when their missions had been completed. For the folks in Grafton Underwood, they may as excited, if not more, as the attendees are about the visit. The anticipation for them is high. They have been very busy working to clean, repair, and prepare the Monument and area for a very memorable experience. They’ll have special information about their new non-profit organization, Friends of The 384th.

    Volume XXV, Issue 1 January/February 2019 Hangar Tales Official Newsletter of the National Warplane Museum Inside the Hangars Dick Ash - In Memorium The Fix-it Man - “Super Dave” 2018 Air Shows - the Year in Review A “VIP” Flight Collections P a g e 2 Hangar Tales Dick Ash Aviator, Benefactor, Friend On January 11, 2019, the National Warplane Museum lost a great friend and benefactor with the passing of Dick Ash. Dick was CEO of Livingston Associates (CP Ward) and was on the Board of Directors for the NWM and the Genesee Country Village and Museum. Dick was predeceased by his wife, Joan. He is survived by two daughters, Catherine (David) Strong and Jennifer (Brian) Geer, and two grandchildren, Peytyn and Parker Geer. Aviator Dick worked hard all his life and aviation became his outlet. A commercially rated pilot, Dick discovered his love of flying when he was invited by a friend, Craig Johnston, to accompany him on a trip to NJ in the late 70’s. Bitten by the flying bug, he started lessons at the LeRoy airport and eventually received his pilot’s license. Needing something to fly, he became co-owner of a Cessna 172 with Craig. This eventually led to the purchase of a single engine Beechcraft Bonanza that Dick used traveling to Florida to manage projects that CP Ward was involved in there. Losing electrical power on one (or several) of his flights, he de- cided a twin engine aircraft was the way to go, so he upgraded to Dick in the Left seat of “Whiskey 7” a Beechcraft Baron.

    Some war stories told in short, controlled bursts. “... They taught us to fire in short, controlled bursts [in gunnery school] so we’d learn how to conserve our ammo for when we’d really need it. In fact, that’s pretty much how we all learned to live our lives – in these short, controlled bursts. ...” – Conley E. Culpepper “The fighters are our salvation but the bombers alone provide the means of victory.” – Winston Churchill Dedicated to the memory of Conley E. Culpepper, and in honor of his service to his country during World War II alongside James C. Adair, Milton Brucker, Michael D. Dalgarn, Benjamin J. Goddard, James E. Hendrix, James H.
