My wife and I attended the AF Ball last evening to celebrate the 62nd anniversary of the United States Air Force. Very much enjoyed spending time with LtGen Phil Breedlove, who was the guest speaker. Gen Breedlove is a past commander at Luke several years back. He was, and still is, a good friend and supporter of Goodyear, in fact, merited award as Goodyear's Person of the Year in his final year at Luke. Obviously my lack of specificity reveals I do not recall the specific years, but in sum, he was very welcome by all of the 800+ attendees at the event-----a welcome he certainly deserved. He and the current commander, BGen Neubauer were very gracious in their comments to the audience, and particularly complimentary to the west valley cities for our continuing support to Luke and its mission. In fact, Gen Neubauer compared the west valley's support to Luke as a "national treasure". Linda and I ran in to many of our west valley and military friends and made quite a few new friends. All in all, a very worthwhile and enjoyable evening.
