Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: The 2009 winner of the Haywood Scholarship at Georgia Southern was Patrick Smith, son of Ranger Kevin Smith Ranger Class 8-80. He now resides in Peachtree City, Georgia. There are now a total of three students at Georgia Southern on the Haywood Scholarship, compliments of Korean War Ranger Haywood and the US Army Ranger Association. Congrats to Ranger Kevin Smith and his son Patrick. Be sure to check out the Scholarship opportunities for your Ranger Kids at US Army Ranger Asssociation on line. There are a few others that are still available. Yea Ross, sounds like a story that I once did also. There is a very old friend of mine and former Ranger Instructor at Camp Merrill named Francisco Flores, (Frank) Flores for short. He took flying lessons at the Wimpy Airfield. Did complete his training and had just racked up enough hours to be able to take passengers. He, I and my son Adam rented a plane at Wimpy's and took it for a spin around Dahlonega. Unlike you, we landed successfully back at Wimpy's and to be honest, it was fun. Long story short....Frank is now teaching new soldiers how to fly Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) out at the MI School in Ft Huachuka, Arizona. His principle qualification for landing that job, was his pilots license. I can imagine your experience. Great story. Thanks for the update about the book. Let me know when and where to get one.
