I can't say that I recall either name, but that reminds me to write in some
words on Peter T. Kempt. He was the wing command while I was there. One of
his quotes was "Airman, lack of punishment is reward enough for a job well
done." This sums up the man's personality perfectly in my opinion. The
wing had just gotten an unsat on our formal review and Colonel Kempt was
brought in to shake things up. He did a good job of doing that. He put in
a squadron commander that matched his bubbling personality. I had the
"pleasure" of working for both men for 2 years.

Peter T. Kempf (note the "f" vs "t") was one of the lower forms of
animal life that got elevated to general officer status. He was
eventually drummed out of the corps in disgrace following a bit of
flaperdoodle regarding a secretary and some extra-curriculars.

With a lot of incredible leaders in the AF, he's one to overlook in
the short list.

Or even a long one.
