InfoSheet/Obit - Tyrone T. "T Berry" Thornsberry
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Bruce Karn remembers that T Berry was the first Black Soldier LOH Observer in the Scouts. He was followed later by a second Black Soldier who's name cannot be remembered. He was very talented and a great Observer. See "Broomstick Flying" Discussion page.
Jim Walt remembers "T Berry", as he was called. He was a tall thin black guy, and I’m pretty sure an Observer, not a crew chief. I knew him very fleetingly. I think he DEROSed out shortly after I got there in Jan 69.
