Chet was Laurie's Dearest Love!

High Flight
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split
clouds and done a hundred things you have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit slience.
Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through
footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious burning blue,
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
where never lark, or even eagle flew,
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespspassed sanctitiy of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God."
John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Chet's still remembered
at his DSS office!
