He transferred to the Air Force when it was formed and flew in the military airlift and air intelligence commands, with assignments in Washington, Florida, Hawaii and Japan. At Andrews Air Force Base, he was with the 89th Airlift Wing’s Special Air Mission as director of personnel in the presidential wing. At the Pentagon, he was group commander for military personnel in the CIA’s Directorate of Intelligence.
Among his awards were two Legions of Merit and the Air Medal.
In Bowie, he was a member of the Christian Community Presbyterian Church.
