Comments:I was the co-pilot in the high ship the day Stew was shot down and saw everything. Such memories are often too painful for family and friends. If you do want to know what some of his last moments were I would be honored to tell you about them. Please feel free to contact me anytime. My office phone is 989-635-7994, or you can write to me care of Our Savior Lutheran Church, 6770 Marlette MI 48453, or email me. May the peace of the Lord be with you always. Love in Christ, Eric

Comments:Stewart and I started flying at about the same time. Two ships were going to be available, 133 and 303. Three was my luckey number, I thought I couldn't go wrong! In the meantime I was offered a spot on " Snake Doctor". We were on the CA the first time Stewart was shot down, eeveryone made it out OK! In the EMclub that evening I asked him if he was going to keep flying, he said sure! The second time, they weren't so luckey. He was Crewchief on both 133 and 303 I don't remember which ship was first but his fate could have very well have been mine. It haunts me to this day and I will never forget him!
