Archie put the fun back into flight training and check rides. He set a high standard but made learning fun. I enjoyed flying with him. I'm sorry for our loss.

Archie was a good friend and I depended on him greatly during my tenure as Wing Commander of the South Carolina Wing, Civil Air Patrol. I was looking forward to working with him on my multi-engine rating. Col. Hartsell Rogers

High Flight



Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth.

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,

Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long delirious, burning blue

I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace,

Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;

And, while with silent, lifting mind i've trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Archie, you're in God's Air Force now. Thanks for your service in the South Carolina Civil Air Patrol.

Archie was a great man and a great pilot. I recieved flight training from him as a cap cadet. Archie pretty much inspried my desires to fly. Without him, I wouldnt have achieved many of my aviation goals that I am so proud of today. May he rest in peace.

Mrs. Simpson,

I am so sorry to hear about Archie. He and I roomed together at the Mountain Flying School. Most recently I got to catch up on his flying activities at the National Checkpilot School. He was a really good friend.

Dear Tammy, Leroy and I were so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. The poem below helped me when my brother passed away; hopefully it will help you too. Again, we are very sorry.



SPIRIT OF SOUL, by Oliver Mbamara

"The heart of love knows the spirit of Soul,

And by the present practice of this perspective,

Shall the journey home be commenced,

And someday our destination shall meet within

To discover again, the true substance we are."



"And what am I but Soul,

And what is Soul but that I am;

The substance of beingness,

Expressing the consciousness of Spirit.

When I think of Archie I remember in the late 60's when he would visit mother and be on his bike. I have not seen Aunt Irene in too many years.



I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God comfort you as only he can.
