Title: Dukemskt - bad news.
Post by: Wolfala on September 05, 2011, 12:33:34 AM: Dukemskt - Col. Phillip Nagy, another member Andy rom Alaska and myself have flown out to spend the last few days with him in Washington. Duke was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer Weds of last week. He is fading very quickly. Duke worked with HT in the early days of AH.

Keep him in yr prayers. HT, if you'd like Donna's number, send me a PM. He does not have a lot of time.

Duke flew A-26Ks during Vietnam and had a very colorful post war career.

9/11 at 11:30 PM PST. Figured he'd go out on a day that he'd be remembered. 2 days after his 66th birthday
