to Mike Walsh aka 7sins.  He flew with us in the 412th, and with the 13th.  He died as a result of an auto accident last year.

Whitey Wannamacher flew with the name -brkt- in WB, then here from early beta. He introduced many of us to this addiction after first turning us on to "Fantasy Flight", a group that flew real WW2 Warbirds to airshows dressed in realistic AAF uniforms. He was the charismatic sort who would say, "Hey, guys, lets strip and polish the T-6 this year", and we'd all jump in, do it, and enjoy it. When he passed we (Buccaneers squadron) did a missing wing man formation in the TA and I had the honor of riding back-seat in Whitey's T-6 for the RL missing wingman formation over his house after the funeral. Words can't describe what this man meant to me, and I miss him lots even today.

I was cleaning up on my HD a few days ago and found the film from back then. No I didn't "clean" it out.
It's a little over 9MB, so I can't post it on my page (only have 10MB in total, "free" space that came with my connection), but I can e-mail it to someone who can post it.
