A fallen Warhawk, remembered By Senior Master Sgt. Timothy Bahr 4th Space Control Squadron operations superintendent
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. — Staff Sgt. Austin Bieren, 4th Space Control Squadron Physical Security non-commissioned officer in charge was remembered at a ceremony officiated by retired Maj. Gen. Dale Merryrose, former Director of Command and Control Colorado based Systems, at Mount Pisgah Cemetery in Cripple Creek, Colorado, August 20, 2017. The ceremony honored five service members from both the 21st Space Wing and the 10th Special Forces Brigade, who lost their lives in the line of duty, by adding their names onto a memorial wall located at the cemetery. “The citizens of Cripple Creek built this Memorial Park as a place to reflect on what has been required through the years of the men and women of our Armed Forces,” said Merryrose.
The five Front Range Airmen and Soldiers added to the memorial include Bieren, Maj. Andrew Byers, Staff Sgt. Christopher Wilbur, Staff Sgt. Adam Thomas and Specialist 1st Class Ryan Gloyer. Col. Kathleen Flarity, Office of the Surgeon General, provided closing comments and conducted The Laying of the Wreath. The Laying of the Wreath is a formal ceremony that most frequently occurs at Arlington National Cemetery. The High Frontier Honor Guard performed a rifle salute with the shots fired representing the sacrifice made by the service members. The ceremony concluded with the playing of Taps in their honor. The Memorial Wall with 385 names engraved on it offers a place to reflect on the sacrifices made by service members and was dedicated in 2007. Rachel Bieren, wife of the late Bieren, was in attendance as well as representatives from Bieren’s leadership.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — On Thanksgiving Day, 1971, Capt. James Steadman and 1st Lt. Bob Buetel of the 497th Tactical Fighter Squadron took off on a mission from Royal Ubon Air Force Base, Thailand in their F-4 Phantom fighter. Steadman was the pilot and Beutel rode in back as weapons system operator. They used the call sign Owl 8. Around 3 a.m. they made radio contact with their task force radar flight advising they were switching to their assigned tactical frequency, according to Internet accounts of the event. That was the last time anyone ever heard from the two aviators. The two aviators were declared missing in action. Rescue efforts were discontinued in December of that year. Steadman was declared killed in action in February of 1975. Records show it was Steadman’s 317th mission and Beutel’s 88th. “I remember when they came to the door to tell

C ommander’s C orner During football season it’s everyone’s alma mater 21 st S pace Wing
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — On a very sunny fall afternoon 37,286 fans gathered Sept. 2, 2017, for opening day of the U.S. Air Force Academy Falcons football season. A new year, new starters, and the promise of a Mountain West Conference championship began on a glorious day for football. The atmosphere was electric with Wings of Blue skydivers dropping at dizzying speeds straight out of the air brandishing various flags, including Old Glory herself accompanying the last to land. F-16 fighter jets screamed past overhead and thousands of cadets sprinted to their seats like an angry pack of headhunters chasing a chubby adventurer. Colors presented, Star Spangled Banner sung, ball kicked end over end and the game was underway. It was Parent’s Day at the Academy, just to add another element of excitement to opening day festivities. The fabulous Falcons were on the field to perform the annual slaughter of
Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer a Football Championship Subdivision team, this time it was the Kedets (pronounced keydets) from Virgina Military Institute. Parents, alumni and rabid fans were witnesses to a 62-0 thrashing of the Kedets. It was not pretty, calling to mind some of the worst disasters in history, like when that one planet was totally vaporized by that big round laser thing in that one movie. It was like the Broncos playing the Sisters of the Poor’s elderly JV team. But the crowd was happy and the festive
atmosphere continued throughout the day despite the beating taking place on the field. The smells of hot dogs, nachos and popcorn wafting through the air, bands playing with palpable enthusiasm and the general buzz of thousands of fans gathered for a good time trumped any feelings of mercy the crowd might muster for the VMI players. The stands didn’t start emptying until the home team was ahead by half a century. People were having fun. And that’s the real story. There was a game taking place and the Falcons were impressive with 663 yards of total offense along with nine touchdowns. But beside what took place on the field, it was the atmosphere of a college football game that ruled the day. The weather, the food, the friends, the camaraderie of a common fandom, and this time, a home team win, joined forces to make for a Saturday afternoon unrivaled by other things taking place in the area.
Rooting for a favorite team is fun. If it is your alma mater it is more fun. But when you are connected in any way to the U.S. Air Force you can have a second alma mater, sort of: The USAFA Falcons. They not only represent the university, but the entire Air Force and by extension, the nation. These players will spend time serving their country and leading men and women also serving. The connection is something to take pride in. They are typically smaller than opponents across the board, but nobody beats them where heart, determination and resilience are concerned. It’s fun to root for them. It’s fun to watch them scrap it out on the grid iron. There are few things more enjoyable than a fall afternoon spent at a college stadium watching a football game and participating in the festivities therein. Catch one of the upcoming Falcons home games and cheer them on, you will not be sorry, depending on how many hot dogs you eat. For more info: www.goairforcefalcons.com

Kids experience deployment process By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A unique group was deployed from Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 16, 2017. They completed in-processing, deployment and returned home by the end of the day. But don’t get concerned about a clandestine unit making a quick deployment. This deployment was part of Kids Understanding Deployment Operations, K.U.D.O.S., an event that allows children of military members who are 5-14 years old to experience what a parent goes through during a deployment. “We want to give them an idea about things that might be going on during an actual deployment,” said Master Sgt. Scott Lauer, Airman & Family Readiness non-commissioned officer in charge. “Parents aren’t always able to share everything that is coming, so this is trying to help the children cope.” The day was broken into four segments: predeployment, pre-deployment training, deployment center activities and reintegration/ redeployment. “The kids are sworn in for the day,” Lauer said. “It’s pretty involved, but it’s all for the kids so they have a realistic experience in a kid-friendly deployment event.” Activities are held in various location around Peterson AFB. Beginning at 8 a.m. attendees met to hear remarks from Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, then were sworn in. Next, the kids formed into flights and continued through the deployment line where they received orders, deployment gear, had finger fingerprints taken, simulated immunizations, made a power
$26,488
of attorney document and met chapel personnel. “They got a pack with pre-deployment items in it,” said Lauer. “They did a power of attorney for their toys.” For the pre-deployment training segment the Airmen-for-a-day had their faces painted then visited displays including chemical warfare, medical items along with hazardous materials and fire department demonstrations. The segment allowed kids to see the weapons used by the Security Forces Squadron while on deployment, as well. During the lunch break period the kids opened up a video chat with their parents. “On deployment one of the biggest ways to communicate with your family is through video chats,” Lauer said. “They used web cams to communicate with their ‘family back home.’ It opens a chain of communication with their parents about deployment and what’s happening.” Deployment center activities gave kids some practical experiences to familiarize them with the deployment process. They completed marching and basic drills, participated in an obstacle course and were given hands-on armory training. Explosive ordinance disposal and military working dog demonstrations, as well as readiness chemical detection and equipment and U.S. Army displays were part of the events. The K.U.D.O.S. events ended about 4 p.m. with the reintegration segment where the kids were welcomed home with balloons and banners made by their parents. A coin presentation and closing remarks from Col. Eric Dorminey, 21st SW vice commander were part of the ceremony. The Peterson AFB Deployed Family Dinner, hosted by the base chapel, rounded out the day’s activities.

Take action to make a smooth transition with TRICARE in 2018 TRICARE Communications
FALLS CHURCH, Va. — You may be wondering what action you need to take, if any, to ensure you continue TRICARE coverage in 2018. Some beneficiaries will need to take action, but most will not. If you’re currently enrolled in or eligible for TRICARE coverage on Dec. 31, 2017, you’ll transition to your respective TRICARE plan on Jan. 1, 2018. If you want to enroll in a TRICARE plan or change coverage after Jan. 1, 2018, you’ll need to take action to enroll in the plan of your choice.
Automatic Transition for Current Enrollees
Beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime, either stateside or overseas, as of Dec. 31, 2017 will remain enrolled in TRICARE Prime on Jan. 1, 2018. If you have TRICARE Standard or TRICARE Extra as of Dec. 31, 2017, you’ll transition to TRICARE Select. TRICARE Select replaces TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra on Jan. 1, 2018. If you’re enrolled in any TRICARE premium-based plan on Dec. 31, 2017, you’ll remain enrolled in your plan on Jan. 1, 2018 as long as you continue to make your premium payments.

During December 2017, there will be an enrollment freeze for TRICARE Prime enrollments, and a delay for primary care manager changes. For all other beneficiaries, you’ll also need to complete any and all enrollment actions by Nov. 20, 2017 to ensure continued health coverage in 2018.

EOD: A job for Air Force’s best and bravest By Robb Lingley 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The 21st Medical Operations Squadron is working with the Explosive Ordinance Disposal team at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado to ensure that they are physically qualified to perform their mission. Capt. Jeffrey Turner, 21 MDOS staff physical therapist, is one of the first Airmen to come up with an injury prevention program helping to reduce the risks associated with workplace and downrange injuries by addressing safety and health issues before they occur. “Myself and a technician, Staff Sgt. Cerrissa Witte, 21 MDOS non-commissioned officer physical therapy, started up a preventative sports medicine outreach program at Peterson Air Force Base to help the EOD team,” said Turner. “We are slowly ramping up a program that gets us out there at least once a week to work with them.” EOD was created to answer the nation’s call to provide a capable and professional force charged with handling the specific mission of disarming or disposing of unexploded ordnance. Trained to detect, disarm, detonate and dispose of explosive threats worldwide, EOD members are specialists who bravely serve as the Air Force’s bomb squad. Assigned to some of the most dangerous missions, they perform tactically harrowing and technically demanding tasks in diverse environments. “With more demanding fitness requirements in place, it’s become clear to me that a more rigorous fitness program is needed to meet the demands placed on the EOD team,” Turner said. “I’ve wanted to further improve their physical fitness and flexibility, allowing them to perform their job at higher levels.” He said that with all of the awkward positions they find themselves in disposing of explosive ordinance, flexibility is a must. His workout programs emphasizes weightlifting mechanics, increased strength, power and agility with his goal having EOD ready to deploy in a moment’s notice. “Our main goal for the EOD team is to prepare them to go downrange,” Turner said. “We want to make them fit, not only in body, but psychologically as well.” Turner was certain this type of training should be implemented Air Force wide.

FOSTERING POSITIVE CHANGE:
Team Pete Airman helping improve life for battlefield airmen By Dave Smith 21st Space Wing Public Affairs staff writer
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — He said it is just a small piece of the larger Battlefield Airmen Force Improvement Program, but Tech Sgt. Robert Hicks III, 16th Space Control Squadron mission assurance flight chief, at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, sees his work affecting positive change in the Air Force. From Aug. 14- Sept. 1, 2017, Hicks participated in the Battlefield Airmen Retention Survey portion of the BA FIP, which can only be directed by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and championed by the Vice-Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. Stephen Wilson. The survey detail consisted of about 60 Airmen who are all part of the BA community. Hicks was selected to participate based upon his background as a radio maintainer working special operations communications assignments at the Joint Special Operations Command and the Joint Communications Unit, the only tier-1 special operations unit an Air Force communicator can serve in, he said. When the smoke cleared, Hicks helped simplify the data gathering process and was selected to be a subject matter expert when survey findings are briefed to the VCSAF. “At first I didn’t know what I was getting into,” Hicks said. “But it was a way to give back to my brothers and sisters in the special operations world.” “We are extremely proud and excited, but not at all surprised, that Tech Sgt. Hicks was hand-selected by Headquarters Air Force to participate in such important work,” said Lt. Col. Bobby Schmitt, 16th SPCS commander. “His efforts will help shape the future of the Air Force in how we recruit and retain talented Airmen to take on Battlefield Airmen roles, which are some of the toughest jobs we ask our people to do. As expected, his performance with the team was exceptional, which led to his nomination to participate in the final out brief to the VCSAF.” Schmitt said that while the survey is not specific to operations occurring within Air Force Space Command, he thinks
some of their work on how to improve resiliency programs will be applicable to all Airmen and in the long-term will benefit the entire force. The survey is part of a grass-roots approach. It was created to bring senior Air Force leaders useful information about challenges in the BA world as perceived by the community members. The survey included BA support members and associated members of sister services. The four teams of surveyors were sent all over the world to reach out to everyone in the BA career field. The survey consisted of about a dozen questions provided in both one-on-one and group environments to get as many responses as possible. The BA community includes combat controllers, tactical air control parties, combat resource officers, special tactics officers, air liaison officers and their support groups. “We talked to everyone,” Hicks said. “We got the no holds barred opinions about what needs to be improved in the career field.” After the data was gathered it became evident that the method of capturing the material did not work well. Hicks came up with an improvement idea and shared it with the survey leadership, who decided to try it out. “We needed to revamp the method of how to capture data best,” he said. “I built a new way to do it with a better form.” Hicks assisted the team mining the data and helped establish the use of his form. Due to his knowledge of the process, he was asked by leadership to answer any questions the VCSAF might have related to the communications piece Hicks worked with. “I felt pretty honored that they asked me to be that SME,” Hicks said. “It’s not every day that you get to be part of something that can change, in a near earth shaking way, the way the Air Force does its mission.” All the information is collected and compiled, said Hicks, the presentation slides are ready and recommendations prepared. Now it’s just a matter of gathering the correct supporting statistics. He is not sure when the briefing will take place, but is hopeful he will be available to attend and contribute as needed. “I feel like this is something that needs the highest levels of attention possible,” Hicks said.

21st OSS Airfield Ops. leading the way By Senior Airman Dennis Hoffman 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — The grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Peterson Air force Base Flight Planning Room occurred at the Base Operations Building on Peterson Air force Base, Colorado, Sept. 15, 2017. The Peterson AFB Flight Planning Room is a flagship environment with digital processes in place that will make it paperless, a first across the entire Air Force. The new room is outfitted with two large, interactive screens and a digital system that encompasses every facet of the usual paperbased flight publications a pilot needs to move their mission forward. The cost savings over the next year make this new room an obvious benefit. “We spend tens of thousands of dollars each month on paper flight publications,” said Staff Sgt. Jason Turton, 21st Operations Support Squadron Airfield management operations supervisor, creator and implementer of the room. “If we minimize how much we spend on those and allow the pilots to do everything on an electronic medium, we could potentially save around a $100,000 a year.” Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Mark Bronson, 21st SW command chief, were on hand to cut the ribbon for the official launch of the room and discuss the benefits of fostering ideas in Airmen and the impact of the new room on the 21st OSS and 21st SW workflow. “This is a great moment to celebrate the magnificent things our Airmen are doing here at Peterson AFB,” said Moore. “Our Airmen have great ideas and I know in this room there are at least three more great ideas ready to go. We need to keep encouraging our Airmen to be progressive leaders of change and continue to propel our mission here at the 21st SW.” With support from the top down, Turton credits his successes to the receptiveness of his chain of command. “I love my job,” said Turton. “But the best part about it is that any idea I may have on how to make our jobs easier or more efficient is heard with open ears and is well received throughout my entire chain of command. The 21st SW and the leadership here do a great job allowing any [Airman] the opportunity to step out of their box and do some thinking to impact the Air Force as a whole!” With the overall goal for this room to be a flagship model around the Air Force, Turton and his team will compile data and cost analyses over the coming months to present this room as the standard by which all of the Air Force Flight Planning Rooms be held to.

Marine Ospreys visit Peterson AFB
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — U.S. Marine Corps maintainers assigned to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (VMM-261) prepare a MV-22 Osprey for high altitude, low visibility landing training at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 12, 2017. Peterson AFB offers a unique combination of altitude and dry climates that are similar to the climate the Marines might encounter while deployed overseas. By Steve Kotecki 21st Space Wing Public Affairs
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — When Hurricane Irma was threatening to tear up the East Coast, the leadership of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (VMM-261) needed to get their MV-22 Ospreys out of Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina. The high winds and rain could damage the expensive aircraft and they could be needed for hurricane relief efforts after the storm. VMM-261’s standard hurricane evacuation location is just outside Nashville, Tennessee. When the forecast models for Irma showed it tracking more westerly than initially thought, Nashville was out of the question for the squadron.

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A MV-22 Osprey belonging to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 261 (VMM-261) takes off from Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept 12, 2017. The squadron evacuated from their home station at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina in advance of Hurricane Irma.
They decided to come to Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado. “With a storm of that size it was hard to predict where it could end up,” said Maj. Scott Harris, VMM-261 executive officer. “With that in mind we put a plan together to get some training done at Peterson AFB.” “Peterson AFB is a great place as it offers a unique combination of high altitudes with low visibility landing training, and it’s very easy to coordinate with the operations center here, usually all it takes is a phone call,” said Harris. It’s especially important, because of the Osprey’s unusual tilt rotor operation, to get high altitude training. “The aircraft performs much differently at 6,000-7,000 feet than it does at sea level, which can make things interesting,” Harris said. Harris stated that the squadron has come to Peterson
AFB several times over the last year, first in preparation for a deployment and now again to escape the hurricane. The squadron continues to stand ready to deploy to the southern states, if required. “We’re not tapped to go right now, because half of the squadron is deployed overseas, but we can fill in at a moment’s notice if need be,” Harris said. The Osprey is ideal for humanitarian relief missions since it doesn’t need a full runway, is more flexible and has less of an impact on local infrastructure, Harris said. “We’ll head back to North Carolina soon, but always look forward to coming back to Peterson AFB, the relationship between the squadron and Peterson AFB has always been great,” said Harris.

fore us in service to our nation, serve as an opportunity to consider the past but it also serves as something to be mindful of as we continue to serve today, as we continue to serve tomorrow and into the future,” said Col. Todd Moore, 21st Space Wing commander. Kicking off the week just as the sun came up, nine flights of students and members from the Forrest L. Vosler Non-Commissioned Officer Academy and Peterson AFB formed up to raise the American and POW/MIA flags, Sept. 11. The flags stayed up all week through the 24-hour run where 432 members of Team Pete volunteered to run a three mile loop to keep the POW/MIA flag moving for a total of 148 miles. The week concluded with a Remembrance and Retreat Ceremony. On the final loop of the 24-hour run, the Peterson Fire Department, 21st Security Forces Squadron, Colorado Patriot Guard Riders and the Green Knights Military Motorcycle Club escorted the runners from start to finish into the Remembrance Ceremony. The runners carried the flags of the five U.S. military branches and the POW/ MIA flag. During the ceremony, the Code of Conduct was read by six service members including Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers and a Canadian service member. Retired Army Master Sgt. Edwin Beck also spoke at the ceremony. Beck is a former World

War II gunner in the 106th Infantry Division, 422nd Regiment when he was captured. “I was MIA, I was a POW, now I am an exPOW/MIA,” said Beck. “I’m privileged to be amongst these young troops here because you are the troops and the people that are going to keep this country going.” Beck joined the Army in 1943 and on Dec. 19, 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, Beck’s unit was surrounded and captured by the German forces. They were forced to march more than 150 miles in five days to a POW camp. Beck spent approximately six months as a POW before he escaped, said Jim Wear, Remembrance Ceremony guest speaker and Salute to American Veterans founder and organizer. Moore concluded the ceremony before the American and POW/MIA flags were brought down in the Retreat Ceremony. “In the face of the uncertainty surrounding us whether it’s in eastern Europe, east and south china seas, the Korean peninsula, the Middle East, we must bring honor to our heritage by pushing the mission forward and taking care of each other. “We must know that as we move forward, as we push as we face our adversaries that no matter what happens, you are remembered. We will not leave an Airman behind. I am honored and humbled to serve with you. May we never forget,” Moore concluded. A total of 468 Team Pete members volunteered throughout the week either by running, staffing a booth, coordinating logistics, 21st SFS escorting the runners for 24 hours, 21st Civil Engineering providing equipment, or participating in the multiple ceremonies.

Karin Steadman with her son, Steadman James Brunson, holds a photo of her father at the Visitor Center on Peterson Air Force base, Colorado, Sept. 15, 2017. Karin’s Father, Capt. James Steadman, was declared killed in action in 1975. Steadman and her son, who was named for his grandfather, were at Peterson AFB to take advantage of the Gold Star Base Access ID Program that was instituted earlier this year.

us,” said Karin Steadman, James’ daughter who was 4 years old at the time. “Two officers and a chaplain walked up and I remember my mother crying. She was only 27 with two small children. I remember telling her I would take care of her.” Steadman and her son, Steadman James Brunson, named for his grandfather, were at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, Sept. 15, 2017 to take advantage of the Gold Star Base Access Identification Program that was instituted earlier this year. Through the program, immediate Gold Star family members of fallen Airmen can obtain long-term access cards to Air Force bases to access cemeteries, attend base events and receive additional services provided by the Airman & Family Readiness Center. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 improved assistance for
Gold Star spouses and other dependents, said Rhonda Sargent, Peterson AFB A&FRC community readiness consultant/employment manager. Gold Star families are families that have an active duty Airman whose death was the result of combat or terrorism. “I think it is critical to let the survivors of our fallen heroes know they forever will be part of our Air Force family,” Sargent said. “After all, it is not only members that serve, families serve as well. I was touched by Karin Steadman’s story of her father. I feel so much gratitude for the ultimate sacrifice her father made for all of us. Really there are no words except, ‘thank you!’” Karin heard about the program at a National League of Families POW/MIA meeting. She said the Air Force speaker that day told attendees they were not forgotten and that the Air Force cares for them. She is the first Gold Star Family member to obtain one of the IDs, Sargent said. Now Karin, and her mother Penelope, can access base cemeteries, like the one at the U.S. Air Force Academy where her father, 1967 Academy graduate, is memorialized.
Karin Steadman receives her base access identification card at the Visitor Center on Peterson Air Force base, Colorado, Sept. 15, 2017. Through the Gold Star Base Access ID Program, Gold Star immediate family members of fallen Airmen can obtain log-term access cards to Air Force bases to access cemeteries, attend base events and receive additional services provided by the Airman & Family Readiness Center.
What the program provides for the Gold Star families now and what it may offer in the future is uncertain, Sargent said. The longer it exists and the more families utilize it could cause it to evolve over time. For Karin and other Gold Star Families, they seek closure to their sometimes decadeslong stories. “I don’t think that my dad survived,” Karin said. “But I guess there was always a part of me that thought he would come back.” She said they may never get closure, but more evidence of downed pilots is being discovered. While searching the site of a different downed aircraft a team came across F-4 parts believed to be from Steadman’s crash. Enough is known about the mission he was on to make the site plausible as a place his plane may have went down. “It’s giving us hope,” Karin said. “(the site) was in between both places he would have gone, either back to base or to refuel.” Should the current excavation dig up any more evidence of Steadman’s aircraft they may decide a full excavation, dedicated to finding evidence of his crash, is warranted.
“This could be our needle in the haystack,” said Karin. “I’d be interested in going to Laos if they find dad’s (crash) site.” Joseph Mortati, a retired Air Force pilot and USAFA graduate is helping Karin with research, using his familiarity of AF terminology and procedures to wade through the mounds of data. His support and assistance is valuable in keeping the hope of finding his remains alive. “Families want and deserve the best accounting possible for their loved ones,” said Karin. “My dad is not a case number. I started bringing photos of my dad to my annual League meetings in Washington D.C. to remind my analyst and other government people that he was a very real person that I really never got to know, not a case number.” As long as his memory is alive, so is her hope that evidence exists about what actually happened that November day in 1971. “If my dad’s case isn’t solved during my lifetime, my son will carry the torch with the ground work that has been laid,” Karin said.
