Check Six: Group Formations 1980s – 30+ years ago

Posted on Mar 12, 2018 in 1980's, Check Six
L-R: Richie Kunichika, Allen Mizumoto, William Mossman, Richard Furuno, John “Saigon” Lee.

This photograph shows Col John “Saigon” Lee, and his staff, Col Richie “Kuni” Kunichika, Lt Col William “Billy” Mossman, and Lt Col Richard Furuno, in front of a organization formation. It seems to be a retirement or open house ceremony because of the civilians seats in the shade of the hanger (Bldg 3400).

Colonels Lee and Kunichika retired in 1989. Colonel Mizumoto went on to become the Commander of the Hawaii Air National Guard.
