Jack Hammett, member of Huntington Beach Old Bold Pilots, died last week at age 94. Right up to the end, he had the energy of a 40 year old, and didn't look a bit past 80. He had a very busy, full life, even in local politics, being former mayor of Costa Mesa.

I have never before seen a first person account of the attack. Here are his and his wife's stories:
