I have many happy memories of visiting Buddy, Peg, and their sons while stationed at Whiteman AFB, Missouri, 1971-72. I rode my motorcycle up to Overland Park to visit several times. I will always remember the kindness of Buddy and family. David Carver Hadden (son of Mary Ellen Carver Hadden, nephew of Donald Carver)
