Buzzards Rule

This month, we experienced a great loss.  Col. Adrian "KERMIT" Poné was killed in a car accident in Italy.  Kermit was commander of N8's squadron (the Buzzards) when we left Aviano a couple of years ago.  Our hearts are heavy with his death and for the family and friends he left behind.  We are praying for his wife, Cheryl & 2 young sons, Adrian & Christopher. 

This link shares news of the memorial held at Aviano last week (http://www.aviano.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123187503).  Tomorrow, his funeral will be held in his hometown of New Paltz, NY.
