He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction. \nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.) \nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\"  \nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip. \nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943. \nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France. Many of his subsequent victories were scored\nin doubles and in one case a triple. On October 10, 1943, on an escort mission to\nMunster, he destroyed three twin-engine German aircraft. The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

The third hit depleted his\nammunition, and when another ME-110 came towards him \"...I turned sharply toward\nhim and he broke violently, evading my P-47 with empty guns.\" A growing number of\nswastikas joined the bright yellow \"Little Demon\" artwork under the canopy.\n \nHe was shot down on February 22,1944 while attacking parked FW 190s on a base\nat Ostheim, Germany. This was during \"Big Week,\" the all out attack against the\nGerman aircraft industry. At the time he was America's leading ace in the European\nTheatre with eighteen German air victories in six months of combat. He had flown 56\nmissions, although, with a mathematician's precision, he counted 5614. His lifetime\nfriend Claude Jenkins remembers seeing the news of his last mission in Time\nMagazine, with his quote to a wingmate: \"Take the boys home, George, I've been\nhit!\" \"... I was hit by something when I was still at 4-5,000 feet altitude - long before I began firing... Smoke is belching from my engine. But It still runs, I cut off the fuel - coasting - no help. Woods are northward, England is westward. I am in no trouble if my engine keeps running, and I ask my friends to proceed on home. I unfasten the seat and shoulder belts and run the canopy back. I'm hoping for the smoke to go\naway, while ready to bail out fast Where there's smoke there's fire? Whoever said\nthat is damned right...I'm down well under a thousand feet. There's no question\nabout what to do. Let's do it. I stand up in the seat and try to dive out of the left side of the cockpit I'm stuck! What the hell is holding me? Time to do a little thinking...I sit back down. I jam the stick forward with my right foot. Departing the cockpit as she plunges down I feel a bump, but it doesn't hurt. I make a Joke that I have \"ejected\" myself-this before ejection seats were invented!\"\n He spent the next 14 months in Stalag Luft III at Sagan, and at Moorsburg, where access to an elementary college physics book sparked his interest. On 29 April 1945 Patton's 14th Armored Division liberated him. After the war, he stayed in the newly formed US Air Force as a squadron commander of the first jet-equipped fighter group. He received a BS degree in physics from the University of Florida in 1949, and a MS in physics from Ohio State University in 1950. He attended graduate school at the University of Califomla, Berkeley, where he studied under Edward Teller and received his PhD in physics in 1962. \nWalter Beckham was the founding chief scientist of the Air Force Weapons\nLaboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, near Albuquerque, New Mexico, and continued\nas chief scientist for six years. During this time, he nurtured a tradition of scientific excellence and mentored many young officer-scientists trying to resolve the scientific, political, and moral concerns inherent to nuclear weapons. His principal research interests centered on nuclear weapons and their effects, and later on survivability and vulnerability issues for nuclear weapons. \nHe retired from the Air Force as a colonel in 1969, and continued as a consultant at\nLawrence Livermore Laboratory, working on various defense-related strategic\nstudies. For his many services, he received the Distinguished Service Cross, the\nSilver Star, Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal, and the Legion of Merit. \nAfter retirement he lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico with his wife Lorraine and two\nvery spoiled Shetland Sheepdogs. Throughout this time, he often received letters\nfrom Thunderbolt enthusiasts and World War II history buffs, which he always\nanswered. His airplane was painted by the aviation artist Robert St. Vincent \"High\nSpeed, Low Pass,\" and reproductions were printed (the original is on display at\nEdwards AFB.) When Ray Stutsman approached him about painting his own Thunderbolt as \"Little Demon\" he declined and suggested another pilot's aircraft. Mr. Stutsman persisted and my father then suggested a second comrade's plane. Mr. Stutsman remained firm, and my father conceded. In 1985, 44 years after his bail out over enemy territory, he took a ride in the jump seat of the aircraft. The first issue of Thunderbolt Enthusiasts International was dedicated to him. He never bragged about his achievements and often seemed bemused at the attention he received. \"Only do things now that you will be proud of later\" was the one piece of advice he gave his admirers.\nWalter Carl Beckham died of a heart attack on 31 May 1996 in Albuquerque, New\nMexico, and is survived by his wife Lorraine and daughter Melissa. \nVerbatim transcript source:\n \nBeckham, Melissa.

He was a war hero, a scientist, and a sentimental man who recited\nYeats. He possessed a clear code of honor, a marvelous sense of humour, and an\nenterprising and creative spirit. As a young boy during the Depression in DePuniak\nSprings, Florida, he transformed his paper route with a fleet of old bicycles that he\nrepaired and then provided as an incentive to other boys, who ran additional routes\nunder his direction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen the United States entered World War II, he felt he would be better off in the air\ninstead of on the ground, and so he tried to enlist. When the Army Air Corps refused\nhim for being underweight, he resolved the problem at a second interview by\nslumping down, and as a \"shorter\" man,\" fulfilled the USAAC's height and weight\nrequirements. Although he had not attended college, he passed the college\ngraduation exam (and won his bus fare back home in a dice game.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe went through flight training at Americus, Georgia, and graduated with the Aviation\nCadet Class of 41-1. During one check ride, he was told to \"spin it\" even with the\nground rapidly approaching, he thought it proper for the check pilot to direct him to\nrecover. He suspected it might be a test to see if he would \"chicken out.\" At a very\nlow altitude the check pilot disproved this theory by grabbing the controls to recover, shouting \"Are you trying to kill us?\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHe was assigned to the Curtiss P-36 \"Hawk,\" which he later referred to as the best he had ever flown. He also flew the Curtiss P-40, and eventually the new Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. After a tour in the Canal Zone and Ecuador, he was sent to Europe\nin 1943, in charge of the newly formed 351st Fighter Squadron under the group's command of Lt Colonel Glenn E. Duncan. When it came time to name his aircraft, a P-47 Thunderbolt, he chose \"Little Demon,\" a character from Al Capp's \"Lil\" Abner\" comic strip.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHis squadron was part of the 353rd Fighter Group, and their responsibilities included escort and fighter sweep duties, ground support and dive-bombing. The only dive-bombing training the pilots had undergone had been stateside with the P-40, a completely different task. Having flown both airplanes, my father understood the problem and approached Colonel Duncan with some new theories. The two gentlemen devised a set of techniques that were used until the end of the war. They entered combat on August 12,1943.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn September 23,1943, Walter Beckham brought down his first enemy aircraft, a\nFocke-Wulf 190 near Nantes, France.

Heinrich was born in Harrington, New Jersey in 1926.  He served Hillsborough County as a police officer and Sheriff for 44 years (1949-1992). He accelerated through the ranks very quickly and became the youngest Captain in department history. Heinrich implemented many changes during his 15 years as Sheriff, introducing reviews, psychological testing, and polygraphs as part of the hiring process for potential police officers. Heinrich was also a strong believer in proper training and established a training bureau in 1979.  During his appointment as Sheriff, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office became the first Sheriff's Office in the southeastern United States to attain accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. Although Heinrich did not seek re-election in 1992, he continued teaching at colleges and conducting surveys of police departments for the Commission on Accreditation.","Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office web site.","http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/Sheriffs/26_Heinrich.htm","Note written by MPY","Three quarters of the collection contains information on administration; the remaining quarter contains information on training.

Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs.

","When he returned home from the war he attended the University of Tampa, and within a few months met Grace Dana Harris. They married on September 1, 1946, and were married for sixty-six years. Zimmerman went into partnership with Dana's father in the lumber business. He later founded another company, Gas'n'Sav, from which he retired in 1982. As a young businessman, he developed an interest in state politics. He was active in several campaigns and was a member of Gov. Leroy Collins's Industrial Commission. He also served on the boards of several banks. Zimmerman believed strongly in education and helped a number of young people go to college. An avid golfer, he was a founder of the Cypress Run Golf Club in Tarpon Springs.  He passed away on December 23, 2012. ","Sources:","Legacy.com. \"Phillip King Zimmerman.\" Legacy.com.
