Lieutenant Colonel G. I. Poole was a friend of mine. We were in the
same "outfit" years ago. His work two years ago, as Commander of Shemya, makes our task simple today. He planned for the future. His work is seeing fruition daily.

"G. I." was killed on an icy Alaskan mountain top in December 1958.

He was an outstanding Air Force officer.
