&gt; Hello All;
&gt;
&gt;     I know that we have all been quite consumed by the events of the last week, but I have to ask the question about one of our class members.  In today's Washington Post, it lists Dave Scales as one of our fallen comrades.  Can anyone confirm if it was our Dave Scales and if so if anyone knows of any services planned for him?
&gt;
&gt;     God bless everyone.  I know that many of you are much closer to this situation than I.  I will continue to keep my prayers going.
&gt;

Sharon,
     
I hope you are doing well.  Please see the note [above].  Have you any way of checking if the Dave Scales listed as missing since 11 Sep is the Ltc David Scales from AWC Seminar 85G (graduating Jul 00)?.  Is there a hot line or 
website with information on the missing (I have the list, but I want to speak with someone who can match a social security number to a name).  I left you Dave's SSN on your voice mail.
     
Thanks,
     
Dave

Dave,
I'm okay.  I have already checked and am very saddened to say that it is indeed our Dave Scales.  His home of record is Cleveland.
Sharon

All,

Attached are funeral arrangements for Dave Scales and address information for his family.  

There will be two events next week for Dave.  The ceremony on the 10th will be performed by his office (OCAR) in Crystal City.  The funeral on the 11th will be at Fort Myer [Arlington Cemetary] and will be done by OSD.  Per CPT Carle, we are invited to both services.  She says Dave's family will be present at both as well.

Subject: Message From Mrs. Scales


AWC Friends,

I received a hand written thank you letter from Dave Scales' wife, Trisha, yesterday.  She asked that I share it with each of you.  Recall we assembled packages for both Trisha and Dave's parents.  Each package included a sympathy card with all of our names, Dave's Air War College
Paper, some of Dave's E-mail correspondence, Ed Herbert's letter, AWC class dinner photos.
I also enclosed a letter with the photos associating our names with our faces and noting that Nat and Marsha Lee were now overseas.  Mike Flores also built and presented the framed class declaration and rememberance to Trisha, which also listed each of our names.  The text of the thank
you letter is below.

"Thank you so very much for the cards, photos, and David's e-mails and War College paper.  How well I remember his insecurity and struggle with the course and the paper.  Even though he excelled at anything he ever
attempted academically, David was always so humble about his abilities! 
Without his encouragement, support, and phone help, however, I never would've lived through some of my college courses!  He was my biggest cheerleader, and I miss him so much.

Your cards and letter will take on greater significance to Ashton as he grows into manhood.  It is so important that he knows how many people genuinely liked and respected his father.  He has not far to look for a role model - his father's warmth and good humor are validated in every
card or note we have received.  Those traits hold anyone in good stead in life.  Thank you, again, and please share this note with all of the "Seminar 85G" class participants.  May God be with each of you always!

Sincerely,
Trisha &amp; Ashton Scales"
