Dameron, John L.

Dameron,  John L.

After pilot training I was assigned to the KC-135 and went to Castle AFB to learn the joys of SAC and the KC-135. Then to Barksdale AFB, LA (913th Air Refueling Squadron). Next I got an assignment to the O-2 and 13 months in South Korea. Separated from the Air Force in February 1972. Continued to fly: 2 years at a commuter in Missouri, 12 years for Frontier Airlines, 2 years at Continental Airlines, and 17 years for United Parcel Service. Heart surgery stopped the flying in 2005; doing okay now. Married Marilyn Plank during pilot training at Vance and celebrated our 51st wedding anniversary June, 2018. We have two married daughters and six grandchildren who are all more intelligent and better looking than their grandpa. We continue to do what old retired people do: go to church (where Marilyn has been playing the organ for almost 40 years), go to grandchildren activities, go to restaurants, go to doctors, and go to funerals.
