Bullock, a

and one of the original members of
the Platters who now resides in
Tarboro it became a lifetime event.
Bullock recently became an hon-

Eagleson Tuskegee Airmen Chapter
of Goldsboro and was the featured
celebrity guest performer for the oc-
casion along with famed millionaire
attorney Willie Gary, who was the
featured keynote speaker.
With some 88 surviving
Tuskegee Airmen of the original leg-
endary 992 attending, this years T
grouping was ein of pilots, op-
eration officers, intelligence officers,
meteorologists, étiginicerinig OPicers,
flight surgeons, aircraft and engine
trol tower operators, and administra-
tors and others that formed support
services for the air force squadron.
That night, these African American
WWII heroes would get their trea-
