Good stuff, Razor.

Last year,... on 27 Oct,... I was in Greenville, SC for the memorial commemorating Rudy Anderson's life and shootdown. The city (which is beautiful) completely restored the memorial park to Rudy. There was a ceremony there, as well as one at his graveside. BG McIlvoyle was there too.

Of a side note, I notice the author was Joe Hyde. He's a former AF pilot whose father was a U-2 pilot. His father's U-2 crashed in the Gulf on the way back from a Cuba mission, and he was killed. Joe's mom was pregnant with Joe Jr.

The crash never got much press, since less than 2 days later, JFK was assassinated,... and that pretty much buried all other news.
