Don in his Flight Suit
Don and Betty Jane Craddock grew up in Pueblo. CO. She lived on the North side and he lived on the East side of town. They met in high school at the age of 16 and the rest of their love story is history. They graduated high school in 1942 only a few months after Pearl Harbor.
After high school, Don joined the Army Air Corps Reserve and enrolled in college. Six months later, he was called up for active duty and pilot training. When he was called up he asked Betty to marry him, but she declined, wishing to graduate from college before tying the knot.
