Steven W. Speights Tribute

Thank you Frank for you kind words. This time of year is full of aches... the passing of my father (6 yrs. ago today), your father and second to none.... the passing of Steven.

I have to agree Mr. Speights was a great guy. I guess I might be a bit biased, especially since he was one of my brothers. Like everyone else, I miss him. I had a Steve moment yesterday when I crew chiefing a UH-1H (Huey) that belongs to the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. I have a lot of great memories of Steve. My two favorites are the night he out ran the Cobb County Police in my car and what he said after I joined in 1972. He said words to the effect they will have to drag out to go in the Army, but in June 1973 he joined the Army and served this country for over 26 years. I miss you Bro, Frank

Hello Steve, Thank you for your kind words. Steven was, indeed, a great guy... and he is sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. He would be very proud to know that you have returned here as and instructor and proud for any small part he might have played in your success. I would be very happy to hear of any stories or memories you have of my beloved Steven that you would care to share. Thank you again, Linda
