In 1962, John Adamski and I were Marine Aviation Cadets (MCAS) in Pensacola, then Southern CA. John, a 2nd Lieutenant, was flying C-130s. He, Gus (a close friend), and I rented a house near the beach in Newport Beach. John lived the good life and was quite a lady's man. In 1965, John, Gus and I were all assigned to the same air station in Iwakuni, Japan. John flew all over the SE Pacific with plenty of time in Viet Nam. He returned to California in 1965, and joined Continental Air Lines. In June 1966, John and five other Marines performed the sword arch ceremony at our wedding. Soon, John was flying as captain, and the good life continued. Around 1975, he married Lorraine, then a Continental flight attendant. I am not aware of any children. Approximately ten years later, John developed a virulent strain of lung cancer and passed away shortly after. John stoically accepted his fate, and planned his funeral services.
