New 225th Observer Website!

Take a look at the new 225th Observer website! The link is www.225observer.us.To some of you it may look familiar because I posted the Memorial Day tribute several years ago with the help of Howard Ohlson on OV-1.com. I will be adding to the site as time goes on, so be sure to check back regularly.

Remembering Henry Kalohi

When Karin and I were planning our trip to Hawaii in 2006, I remembered that Henry Kalohi was a Photo Lab Tech (84G20) in our unit in, if my memory serves me correctly, in late 1969. I knew he was from Hawaii, so I looked for his name on the Internet. Sadly, I found it among the listings for the Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) in Honolulu.

While we were there in April 2007 it took this photo of his grave marker. I don’t know the circumstances around his death. Rest in peace, my friend.

More of John Ferguson's Photos

Among the pictures John sent me were these of Mohawk aircraft that I don't believe were in the 225th. (I could be wrong, however. It's been know to happen once or twice before!) If any of you can ID these airplanes, please let Jim Thomas or me know.
