We the officers and men of the 361st TEWS dedicate this yearbook to our commander. This choice was not made simply because higher authority selected him for this position, but because he truely earned in our hearts the title of "The Old Man". None of us were ever asked to do what he himself would not have done. Durning times of frustration he offered encouragement and guidance. Whether an aircrew trying to make an early morning on-time take off with a contankerous bird or a groundcrew with an "irrepairable" maintenance task in the middle of the night, we could count on him being there. He was no armchair leader. He not only shared in our woes but in our frivolity at the club, cookout or picnic as well. He always found time to listen to our personal problems and offered help if needed. Oh yes! he offered restraint and admonishment when we needed that too. He was the driving force that made a hell-of-a-good-bunch-of-men into the best damn squadron in the Air Force. We will never forget the example of his enlightened leadership, nor will we ever forget the man-our Commander-our comrade-in-arms, our friend-Colonel Perry E. Kimerer.
