Lt Col Swalm and the boyz presenting "Ole Gumby" with a Thunderbird picture in 1972.  Richard (I apologize, I do not know his last name) was the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command's (SAC) poster dude in the early 70s.  Picture this gumby character with a big ole pilot helmet on his head with that goofy, toothless, lookin smile and a caption that read, "Sleep Tight, Your Air Force Is Awake Tonight!"    Richard, wherever you're at.....here's to you, padner!!!
