482nd F.I.S.:


A/2C Lynn F. Markley aka "Mouse"

1959. Lynn was from Kansas City. We ran together as often as Mouse could stand having me around. Good ping-pong player. Given to doing strange things. (I should talk.) Most of the radar guys have looked high and low for Mouse over the years but nobody had heard from him. My last attempt turned him up in Colorado Springs (not dead or in prison), where he is well, married, and angles in bass tournaments as a hobby. Computer enabled.

I brought back a car (1951 Olds 98) in 1959 and Mouse helped me change starter brushes on it over at Motor Pool. The first thing he did when we got it off its engine mounting was to drop it in a full bucket of solvent. That's the most angry I ever became with him.
