That's a nice pun; he certainly is pixelated.

Hubbard

A forced landing in the Dakotas

Don Hubbard writes:

Jack, I found this in one of my old books, a hunting trip when the plane quit. I took the picture. I left high school in 1946, and [W. L.] "Sling" Davis had passed away because they gave me his wrist watch for graduation. My memory is slipping as it's been only 50 years or a little more. 1945? As you can tell, a 3 point landing.

Sling Davis is on the left, Don Davis in the center, and Doc Smith on the right. We were heading for Wyoming to hunt elk or moose.

W. L. Davis was President and owner of Romec Pump during World War II. That's Lear-Romec in Elyria now. Bob Davis was killed in 1941 strafing an airfield. Don Davis graduated in 1944. It was Sling's plane.

In 1944, one of my lungs was collapsed in an accident. Mrs. Smith saw me practicing basketball and told Dr. Smith. He called my parents, and I was grounded.

Tad writes:

Earlier this year (1999) Tad visited San Rafael, California, where he had dinner with his brother Dr. Mark Taylor Smith and his sister-in-law Nancy. Mark, who has his Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University of Utah, conducts research at the Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California.

Dr. Taylor Smith 1905 -1997

Dr. Taylor Smith was born in Gold Roads, Territory of Arizona, on June 20, 1905. His father was a mining engineer who was bitten by the gold bug. Dr. Smith's father moved his family to San Francisco shortly after the great earthquake where he sold real estate for several years. But the lust for gold soon took him to Sutter Creek, California. This picture was taken of Dr. Smith, age 10, his older sister Carmen, age 12, and his baby sister Francis, age 2, in Sutter Creek in 1915.

Dr. Taylor Smith graduated from the University of Nevada in 1926. He traveled east to Cleveland, Ohio, to attend the Western Reserve University School of Medicine. When the depression struck, the bank where Dr. Smith had placed his tuition money closed, and he was forced to drop out of medical school and take a job as a junior high school science teacher to earn the money that he [Dr. Taylor Smith] needed to return a year later to medical school. Dr. Smith's graduation picture taken in 1932 will be posted later. While at Western Reserve, Dr. Smith met and subsequently married Evelyn Amy Fruehauf from Cleveland, Ohio.
