Hi Cleve! I flew for United for 33 years, every 
Douglas aircraft in the fleet. I started in 1946 with 
United, fresh from teaching aviation cadets in Enid, 
OK, and earlier was a B-24 co-pilot and first pilot in 
New Guinea. I retired in 1979 and those retirement 
checks have sure been helpful! 
I have lived in the same home in Northridge, CA for 
50 years! Hilda passed in 2006. 
I would love to reminisce with anyone who remem-
bers me or my era! Call me at 818-349-6023! 
Keep 'me flying! Yours truly, 
Herb

BOB LEITCH—
San Jose, CA 
Thanks to all at RUPA for such a fine job on the 
magazine. Georgia and I dive right in as soon as it 
arrives each month. Once again I am a bit behind 
and please find enclosed a check for two years. If 
the pattern continues, I will always be current in the 
numbered years. 
The last two years have been good ones for us and 
our four kids are not farther than 26 miles away.
We very seldom travel on passes these days but in-
stead drive the 35 minutes to Sana Cruz two or three 
times each week. The beautiful coast line is a great 
place to just hang out, read and enjoy the many 
good places for lunch. About once a month we en-
joy our hideaway just north of Placerville in the tall 
pines. It is a quiet place with dark starry nights and 
deer are seen almost constantly off the patio. 
Hard to believe it’s been almost 9 years since that 
last 777 flight in N215UA, but I have been pretty 
active in my Cessna 180 about 100 hours each year.
Most of the flying is Young Eagle and Angel 
Flights. I greatly enjoy meeting so many great peo-
ple thru these two organizations. In August I will 
have owned the 180 for 30 years. Figure it will be 
the time to sell her when one of three things hap-
pens. 1. Can't climb into my airplane with the first 
high step. 2. Can't operate the big manual flap han-
dle. 3. Can't remember how to start the engine! 
Many thanks, 
Bob
and Georgia
