Coast Air Museum
To all our museum members - - many of
you know that last weekend we lost Al Cathcart, one of our longest
standing volunteers, the only crew chief our T-37 "Tweet" ever had,
a valuable member of our "Tuesday/Thursday Gang" and a truly good
guy. I miss him dearly.
One of Al's fondest dreams was that a patio be built during his
lifetime. His dream came through with the construction of the
beautiful East Patio, right next to Al's "Tweet".
His family was extremely gracious in asking that donations in Al's
memory be made to the Pacific Coast Air Museum Building Fund.
A celebration of Al's life is being planned for Saturday, July 12th,
at the Pacific Coast Air Museum (his daughter told me that was Al's
desire). We will send everyone details as to time, etc, when plans
are finalized.
Today's Press Democrat has a very nice article about Al.
Unfortunately the article stated that the memorial is this coming
Thursday, June 12th - - that is incorrect. The celebration of Al's
life is scheduled for Saturday, July 12th.
We miss Al a ton at the museum. I think of him every time I look at
his T-37 "Tweet", every time I am in the crew lounge where he sat
and whenever I walk onto the East Patio. He did a lot for his
beloved Pacific Coast Air Museum, and in turn, for all of us who
knew him.
