Announcing the passing of Master Sgt (retired) John “Jack” Schmidt. Jack retired from the 193rd in 2000, he was a Graphic Artist in the Audio-Visual section. For those that remember going through the lines during our exercises and training Jack was one of the guys who made all the signs, charts and graphs. He helped make the overhead slides we used to track all the numbers and also helped with the layout of the Scope in the old days before computers.
