I ran across this picture in my file the other day and got help with the identification. The , man on the left is Francis Gary Powers Jr. and the Pilot on the right is LTC Bryan Andrews, Commander 1st Reconnaissance Squadron, 9th Reconnaissance Wing, Beale AFB, CA. This picture was taken during the summer of 2001 when Mr. Powers came to visit and took a flight in a U-2 Dragon Lady.

Airman 1st Class John K. McDowell

Home on leave 1980, age 18
SSG Rick McDowell

My brother Rick (age 22 here) served in the U.S. Army for 14 years. We both served in Operation Just Cause, Panama on opposite sides of the country, 1989. I'm proud of him because he has achieved every goal he has set for himself, if you only knew!
My DAD: Signalmen 2nd Class John E. McDowell

Home on leave from the Navy 1950, age 18. He also served in the Army and the Air Force. All together these 3 McDowell Men have served America for more than 40 years!
Lt Richard L. Reed

My Dad's Uncle Richard joined the Navy successfully when he was 14. When he turned 18 he applied to be an Officer. He served in the Navy for 34 years and 3 wars. My Grand Uncle Richard and I share a kinship of being the only two men in the family that retired from military service. He drove 12 hours to attend my retirement ceremony standing in for my father. I am unbelieveably grateful to him for being there for me on that special day.

Hi John,
Great idea on the website!
The pilot on the right is Lt Col Bryan Anderson - not Andrews
