~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frederick McMurray retired from the United States Air Force as a Lt.
Colonel in 1988. His awards and decorations include the Distinguished flying
Cross, Bronze Star with V for Valor, Purple Heart and the POW Medal. In
reflecting on his captivity, Frederick says that other incidents were more
important to him, such as his marriage and the births of his children - but
his experiences as a POW and his release probably did more to shape who he
is today. He and his wife Judy reside in Idaho. They have three children,
and are expecting their first grandchild in October of 1997. McMurray enjoys
golfing, skiing, fishing, reading and traveling when he is not flying 757's
for Northwest Airlines.
