"Black
Jack", 1961
The circular patch shows two playing cards, the ace
of spades on top of the jack of spades, centered on a green
field. The white numerals "21" sit beneath the cards. The patch
has a black boarder. The ace and jack of spades form the winning
combination of twenty-one in the card game, Black Jack, thus
they note both the squadron's number and nickname. This winning
hand symbolizes the ingredients of character necessary to attain
success: skill, spirit, ability, and fellowship. The green
background represents the combined colors of gold and blue, the
colors of the two classes that were involved in the patch's
design. This mixture provides the incentive for cooperation
between classes. Grant D. Callin, class of 1963, was the
principal designer of the emblem.

Jim Cluff -
My wife Trish and I just arrived at Misawa from
Kunsan (with our three kids). We are pretty lucky...on our third
operational F-16 assignment. Other 91'ers here are Bartz Sykes
(in the other squadron) and Lars Hubert (in my squadron)...when
I left Kunsan, Jeff Davies was a fellow flight commander. He
will be going to Luke this summer. I was TDY to Eielson AFB just
recently for Cope Thunder...ran into Jim and Kathy (Kennedy)
Clark (Jim is flying A-10s, along with Kevin Blanchard -Kathy
got out recently) and Jim Sears (flying F-16s). Darlene Schultz
and Rob Monberg are both Flight Docs there...Rob is leaving soon
for UPT. Got an email from Jim and Beth (Dunn) Kwasny...they
just had their first baby (both are stationed at Ramstein and
getting out this fall). Mom and baby are doing great. My Academy
roommate, Dan Flynn, just got to Kirtland from Kadena, where he
is flying MC-130s at the Special Ops school house. |
