The Bonehead Ballad

 May 2003

I can't believe the end has finally come!  As I write my last newsletter I ponder what it is that I want you all to know.  There's so much I am thankful for and you all are on the top of my list.  Thank you for the beautiful send off that Matt and I will always remember, we were truly touched!  Thank you for coming together and making the 95 FS a family.  I wish you well as you continue to grow and take care of each other.  Every single one of you has brought something unique to the 95th and to me.  I feel as though I have learned so much in the two years and 2 months that Matt has been the 95th commander and believe it or not it has come from you, the wives!  You gals are truly the strongest women on the planet!  As I’ve said before, and really believe, the job of a fighter pilot’s wife is one of the toughest jobs out there, but it’s also one of the most rewarding, as you all know.  All of you have made it look so easy and I feel that “Thank you” doesn’t do justice for what you have done .  This has been an assignment of a lifetime!  Matt and I have truly enjoyed every moment as he was the commander of the BEST FIGHTER SQUADRON in the Air Force!  I will always cherish my memories in the 95 FS. As we part ways, may God bless everyone of your families.

"Once A Bonehead, Always A Bonehead”

Love,

Katherine
