   A group of us Skyhawk drivers gathered over the weekend for a memorial for Jim "Taco" Potter at Goldthwaithe, Texas. Jim died recently of lung cancer and his family had invited us to a celebration of his life and to spread his ashes in his pecan grove at his ranch. Jim's association with the Skyhawk began in the RAG at VA-44, Cecil Field, in 1969 with orders then to VA-55 onboard USS Hancock from 1970-1972. Next followed orders to VA-127 in Lemoore as an instructor and thence to XO and Commanding Officer of VT-4 in Pensacola from 1974-1976.
