I came across a website for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, Va. This clip is shown during the reopening of the Aviation Museum under director Don Moser. Don is known here on the forum Alaska By Don. Don is being interviewed and in the background is an old grey haired gentleman, Wes Hillman who owned and operated Hillman Flying Service at Woodrum Airport. Don is also known as Bushpounder. Wes, like me is now 90 years old and still going strong. Jesse www.wdbj7.com/news/wdbj7-exploring-roanokes-aviation-history-20121117,0,7322974.story

You found it, Jesse! LOL! Yep, Wes is thrilled with it. In fact, he was just there today, but I didn't have but a few minutes to spend with him due to a Board meeting I had to attend. I hope you can get up this way to visit family so we all can get together. Both him and Edith remember you well.

Don I was doing some surfing on my Facebook Page, and we have a section called "you know you grew up in Roanoke When..."The article popped up so I copied the URL and put it up here on the forum. Wes still looks pretty good. Wish I could have gotten together with you guys in October of '11, but I was really pressed for time.. My grand daughter and her daughter still live in ROA. Jesse
