Albert was my crew chief and aerial observer when the Battalion went to Ft. Hood in the Summer of 1990. Prior to that, Albert was one of the first men I flew with in the old 51st Aviation Company. While at Ft. Hood, we were forrced to spend the night when our helocopter became grounded in a remote field site due to maintenance problems. It was a hot summer and we spent our time waiting for a repair team to pick us up by soaking in a stream that flowed nearby. It was a welcome bath in a time when baths were few and far between. Alberrt was a great, professional crewman and soldier and I will remember him always. Graves Wilson

With fond memories I had the pleasure to serve with Albert in the S.C. National Guard. His knowledge of aircraft as a maintenance technician was only surpassed by his professional flying ability as a Aero Scout Observer. The friendship and service we shared as a fellow veteran instilled the "Band of Brothers" with us. Condolences to his loving wife and family. Paul & Ruth Nygaard
