Comments

Finished 20 years in the AF - beginning at the AF Academy thence: Columbus,MS; Altus, OK; Dayton, OH; Panama City, Panama; and Albuquerque, NM. Married Gerry, an AF Nurse in Altus 1977 and had 3 kids - 2 born in Dayton, and 1 born in Panama. My final AF job was in Albuquerque managing operational flight tests on new trainer jets.

After retiring from the AF 1994, I flew 3 years with Midway Airlines out of Raleigh, NC, then 20 years with Delta Airlines out of Atlanta, GA. On my last commercial flight, I flew my entire family to Phoenix in April 2016 where I spent a few days dragging them up Squaw peak and the old haunts. We are busy now with 5 grand kids, volunteering in the community and church, and jumping on last minute cruise deals.

School Story

Only a few dusty stories remain from the lackluster CHS years:
1) Junior prom: kissing Libby Moody good night on the back of her head as she gave up on me and turned to open the door to her house.
2) Insipid track performance with the Vitamin Brothers: Mike Currie, Scott Hveem and me
2) Senior ditch day: Trip to Canyon Lake with Betsy Rich.
3) Senior Awards Banquet: Arizona Republic awarding me a scholarship as "Paper Boy of the year" after numerous classmates were due to receive prestigious scholarships. I begged the Arizona Republic to give the scholarship to the runner-up, to avoid being outed as a paperboy my senior year. I failed.

SCOTT HVEEM OBIT:

Scott Ashley Hveem, 71, was born 21Feb51 in Inglewood, CA in Los Angeles County.  He died in Phoenix, AZ 4Oct22, following health issues.  Scott grew up in Prescott, AZ and Phoenix, AZ.

Following his discharge from his military service in the Air Force, Scott returned to Phoenix.  He was a proud member of the Freemasons Masonic White River Lodge No 62.  A hard worker, no matter what job or task was before him, Scott helped friends and neighbors wherever he lived.  Never asking for more than a simple thank you.  He became an active advocate in the Homestead Neighborhood in Phoenix being declared an Arizona Historical District.

Scott was a private person, never bragging about his accomplishments.  Possessions were not as important as family and friends.  With a sense of humor that was sometimes slightly off-center, he was occasionally outspoken and always honest. He pulled his weight, always doing more than his share.  Those who knew him were blessed to call him a friend. 

He was predeceased by his parents, Carl and Jeanne, and survived by his partner, Carol Thomason, 4 siblings: Karen Hansen, Jon Hveem, Holly Ryan and Richard Hveem and 13 nephews and nieces:  Amber Hansen, Alexis Hansen, Eric Ryan, Ashley Hveemryan, Arne Hveemryan, Honey (Hveemryan) Hanewinckel, Abram Ryan, Christian Ryan, RJ Hveem, Brittany Hveem, Ashley (Hveem) Anderson, Rachel (Hveem) Petricca, and Audrey Hveem. 6 great nephews and 10 great nieces.

Military honors will be Oct 20, 2023 at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona at 10:30 AM

Scott and I welded our friendship from Elementary School when we joined the Lafayette scout troop, After years hiking and camping throughout northern AZ, we finished scouting  during our senior year at CHS, when we led most of our troop for a week backpack trip to the bottom of Havasupai Canyon.  A couple of years later, in 1972, Mike Currie and I drove in Mike's car to visit  Scott who was in training at Buckley AFB in Denver.  We were quick to relive "Vitamin Brother's" glory -- we had a blast.**

Everytime I returned to Phoenix, Scott and I would climb to a spot on Squaw Peak and solve the world's problems.  Our climbing heights were slowly reduced so, by the time of our 50th in Oct 2019, we settled for a bench near the park entrance to to pronouce our findings.

Blue Skies and fair tail winds, dear friend,  I will see you next week 20 Oct 2023 when we return your cremanes to the earth at the National Memorial Cemetery AZ.

** We  were named "the vitamin brothers" by the CHS crosscountry coach because we looked like 3 lanky bean poles. Mike and I were stationed near Colorado Springs in the military - Mike was in the Army at Ft Carson and I was at the AF Academy). Incidentally, Mike and I were the only visitors to meet his new wife, a 1971 CHS Graduate, as they were divorced a few weeks later.  He never married again.

Would love to hear your 1968 Russian stories, Dan. We may try to get a horseback ride to the TBone restaurant Oct 2020. May have to wait for a vaccine in 2021. Either way, would love to get together.
What industrial museum in BOS? Hope it reopens.

Milt's death hit me hard - we have been friends since Lafayette. Russel is right about the flag. He went to AF pilot training about the same time I did, but decided he wanted to pursue computers and separated within a couple of years.

Wish I had set up a tour of Normandy instead of my Russia river cruise this year. Available to lead an ol' Lafayette bud in 2021??

Does this profile mean you are about to register for our last CHS hurrah? Hope so.
