“Otto was the first person that I ever worked with in an Air Force Control Tower in Kimpo, Korea in early 1956. We met again in 1990 at a FAA Manager's meeting in Atlanta, GA. After 1995, we both were Air Traffic Managers for RVA's Non-Federal Control Towers and exchanged old times. I will miss you old friend. RIP Charles Blankenship”
