This was the ninth Hocin child to be baptized, with eight children still living. Ted Olsen of the Air Force had a wonderful reunion in West Palm Beach, Fla., two weekends ago. Jake had the thrill of sitting in on a four-hour session of ground school learning about C-97s. His only regret is that he'll probably-never get to make use-of the knowledge.
