I asked Dad if he remembered Archie Mayes," Oh yeah, Captain Mayes, I remember him". I told Dad that Archie S. Mayes had been enlisted for a couple of years, went to OCS and received his commission and served with the 160th during World War II. After the war he transferred to the U.S.Air Force and retired as a Brigadier General after 35 years of service. Dad said, "If any body deserved to be a General, it was him. He was a man who knew how to do things, and was a likable kind of person too". I told Dad that General Mayes passed away this September. Dad knew him as Captain Mayes and he only had good to say about him. So I couldn't not tell this.These are a few pictures of Archie S. Mayes, Brigadier General. U.S.A.F.
