Drummer Bill Travis
See if you can find me in the drum section. The musician with the bass drum is Gene Bruhjell from Arizona. He introduced me to flying. I soloed at a small airstrip in Texas, and after discharge from the Army began studying flying and went on to fly for Pan American World Airways, later writing a book about my experiences with Pan Am named "Pan Am Captain, Aiming High".
