I feel he would be an asset to the [REDACTED] as he is aware b6 Per BOC pilot problems, he knows aircraft and their limitations. I would therefore recommend him highly.

[REDACTED] Retired USMC, 3021 Willits, Santa Ana, California. b6 Per BOC b7C Per BOC

I have known [REDACTED] for at least three years. We served together in the United States Marine Corps.

I really got to know him in 1966 or 1967 at [REDACTED] where he w b6 Per BOC an [REDACTED] and ground control approach officer. I met him again and knew him rather well at [REDACTED]. I was a flight engineer and certainly knew how he operated in the tower and on the ground.

As a person I would have absolutely no question of his morals, character or habits. He did not use intoxicants to my knowledge and was never in any sort of trouble. He was certainly mature, stable and enjoyed excellent health.

I knew nothing of his organizational affiliations. I would believe him to be a completely loyal American. I would recommend him without hesitation for a position involving the security of our nation.

In his career in the United States Marine Corps he had done many things. He was a customs officer for some period of time and was responsible for the checking of thousands of Marines, Navy personnel and so forth as they came in from overseas. He related to them all very well.

I feel also that he was a man who is of sound judgment, can size up a situation and make a proer decision. I say this because he had to do so many times in the tower and even more so when he was directing aircraft in a ground control approach. I would feel that I was in good hands if he were in charge of the plane on which I was riding as I had no qualms about flying in on his directions.

I recommend him highly for a position with our Customs Department, as a [REDACTED] and also for any Federal position for which he is qualifie b6 Per BOC d. Per BOC
