  1. It's been awhile fella's but I'm still looking for Pete Fischer and Bob about the reunions. Still interested in trying to find some of they guys from then who knew John Brace. Especially Bill Bailey and Andy Franklin. Can anyone help me with this? Please? I have been hitting a brick wall and really need to break it down. This is the last leg of our journey that I am trying to help my husband with. He needs this closure and I am determined to get it for him. Thanks again guys for all you have done. Sandy Brace
  2. Just wanted to give you all an update. This past summer I took Brian on a geneology trip all over. I had found several people, that we were able to meet, that had known John, had pictures of John and could tell us stories about John. Even some people who served back then. It has been an amazing journey and wanted to say thank you to a lot of you on here for your help. Words can't describe how we felt when meeting these servicemen, a lost family member and seeing the military thru John's eyes. We have seen many pictures, heard many stories and realized why he loved what he did. There is never a replacement for a parent, but doing all this has made Brian feel like he knew his dad even though he was 3 when he died. We have made such lifelong friends during this and feel like each of you are family. God Bless each of you for what you have done for us, what you have done for our country and what your loved ones also sacrificed for us. If we can ever repay any of you, all you have to do is ask. We are there for you. Brian & Sandy Brace PS I would love for someone to give me Pete Fischers address, phone or email if you have it. :)
  3. Ok guys. It's me again. Just wanted to share something and ask one last thing. First of all, thanks to my not taking no for an answer and all the help on here from everyone, i have found many answers to a lot of questions we have had. You guys have been great to help me out and very giving of information. The last leg of my journey is to find anyone who might have known John back then. Even if they only knew him a short time. It doesn't matter. I would like to talk to them. I was looking for two of his best friends from back then. John enlisted 9-1-1955 so looking for friend from Basic Training named Bill Bailey. And recently I found out John served his Aircraft Mechanic Tech School at Sheppard AFB in Texas from 11-1955 to 5-1956. He had a very close friend that served with him there named Andy Franklin that I am looking for. Please everyone, this is very important to find out if he is still alive. He was the escort for John's body. Please send messages to anyone you think could help. I'm desperate right now. Please give my email of [email protected] to anyone who has info. I can't explain it all right now but it is very important that i find out if he is still alive. Thanks again to all of you. You have been my lifeline. God Bless you all..
  4. Thanks for info. I have been trying to personal message Sam and it keeps telling me his inbox is full and my message won't send until he deletes some of his messages. Any other idea on how to get in contact with him? Lol. Even though my husband Brian was 3 when his dad died in the crash, he feels a special connection to you all for having served. It definitely shows that it was special to you all. Thanks to you all for serving our country and doing it with the pride you all still show today.
  5. Thank you all so much for your memories of what happened back then. Brian and I have decided that no matter what anyone remembers two things are definite. One, John died doing what he loves (flying) and second he died for his country. Those things will never change. We have been trying to find out when the next 347th reunion is and can't find the info. We were told to google the squadron and it would say but have not had any luck yet. Any ideas? Thanks again for all the help.
  6. My father in law, John A. Brace enlisted 9-1-1955. Not sure which AFB though. Ask your friend if he knew him please. He would remember him from the crash. They were to have been very good friends, so hopefully he remembers if it is the same Bill Bailey. Thank you for your help and time.
  7. Tim, Your story of events was amazing. Thank you so much for your information. I will email you for more information.
  8. Bob, I tried to open these pictures of Gary but they wouldn't open. Can you send them to me in an email?
  9. How do I find guys from the 347th? I have been searching every where I know of to find ANYONE who knew him. I'm looking to contact them or have them contact me. I have been looking for a guy named Bill Bailey from his basic training school and Andy Franklin from his flight mechanic school that he was friends with. Dire need to find them. Any suggestions or help would be awesome guys.
  10. I have found Gary Speer everyone but thanks for your help. We have spoken and he has helped with information. My husband is the son of John Brace, The flight mechanic on the C130 crash of 1966. I am trying to find anyone who knew my "father in law". My husband was 3 when he died and we don't know very much. If anyone knows him or can give me any information I would very much appreciate it. Thanks Sandy Brace
  11. Thanks everyone for your help but I found Gary and we have spoken on the phone. My husband's father was the flight mechanic on this crash, John Arthur Brace. Is there a way to find people who might have known him? I am trying to figure this out and hope I am doing all this right. Thanks for all your help....
