Charles Graham Boyd R.I.P.

General Charles G. Boyd

Charles Boyd passed away yesterday at the age of 83. I posting this because he was from my wife's home town of Rockwell City, Iowa. She never met the man, but her brother did. Association for Diplomatic Studies & Training has a 104 page biography. I've read the first dozen pages so far and it's pretty great. He was an F-105 pilot during the Vietnam war, got shot down and was imprisoned for seven years. He survived, returned and eventually became a four star general.
