Civil Air Patrol Liaison Officer Elmendorf Air Force Base Anchorage, Alaska 99506

Dear Col. BISHOP

I Would like to invite your attention to the tremendous team effort and cooperation by the Civil Air Patrol Unit in Juneau cluring the recent deployment from the Juneau Airport while in~ volved in the sea:rch for the ove:rdue Cessna 310 carrying cengressmen Begich und Boggs.

Ouring the ten days that we operated out of the Juneau Airport

we received a gJ:'sat deal of very necessary assistance from the

CAP. The local knowledge alone, which we wsre provided enabled

us to perform our mission mut:h more efficiently than otherwise would have been possible. In addition, we were shown and provided charts with specific »-aluable information related to individual search areas. Of particular help were Jack Gucker, Ed Keller I Bill Dean and Frank Parsons.

The enthusiaSIll and initiative demonatrated by the CAP in Juneau is indeed a credit to the organi%8tion. It was our pleasure to have been associated with such B capable and professional group.

Sincerly,

cAl LL' ,.,.?, ,
