	Peter Bird — Chairman of the Board Emeritus, Webmaster Emeritus, Board Member Emeritus Obituary: Peter A. Bird, of Hollis, NH, formerly of Lexington, MA, passed away on June 12, 2023. Beloved husband of the late Patricia Frawley Bird. Son of the late Kenneth and Jean Bird. Devoted father of Jonathan Bird and his wife Christine of North Reading, MA. Loving grandfather of Elise and Liam Bird. Brother of Christopher, Duncan, Gregory, and Jeffrey Bird. Also survived by many nieces and nephews. Peter received his degree in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1965. He then joined the U.S. Air Force and attended OfficerTraining School and Pilot Training. He flew all over the world as an Aircraft Commander in the C-141A Starlifter, and then finished his USAF career as a Captain with a tour in Vietnam in 1971 as a C-7A Caribou pilot. He was awarded the Air Force Commendation Medal, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the Air Medal, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. In 1973 he began his commercial pilot career with Eastern Airlines, where he met his wife, Pattie. When he retired from the airlines in 1983, he returned to engineering, where he became an expert in computer publishing systems for the printing industry for another 23 years. Peter served for 27 years on the Board of Directors of the C-7A Caribou Association. This organization of war veterans serves USAF personnel who had the distinct honor of having been assigned to the Air Force C-7A aircraft, one of the most unique airplanes ever flown by the USAF. Peter loved woodworking, computer programming, sports cars, country music, and collecting everything from stamps to tools. But, his favorite activity was going to Maine with his grandchildren in the summer.
