LT Fredrick Morrison Kasch    Lieutenant Fredrick Morrison Kasch is remembered on "The Wall" panel 22E, line 106. From shipmate "Boom" Powell: Fred was from San Diego where his father was a college teacher/prof. Believe he went to San Diego State and got his wings as an AOC. He was in VA-125 the same time I was along with Howie Fowler as we all reported to VSF-1 in Alameda on the same day. He was a bachelor and lived simply, ie, BOQ, no smoking or drinking. His only luxury was to fly to SD on weekends to visit his family. Used his VW bug once and the glove compartment had a half dozen uncashed pay checks. He had two younger sisters and years later Honey married Dan Swinford who was in VSF-3 with us.(2nd time around for both.) At Alameda he bought a 35mm SLR camera and loved using it. He was interested in getting air-to-air to the point where he and I were going to get checked out in the Station's T-33. He took the photo of me in A-4B over the Golden Gate Bridge. |
