We have received word of the death of CMSgt Ken Buhl, who for many years was a very active part of the South Dakota Wing family. In the days when we had a Liaison Officer and NCO within South Dakota, Ken was their primary reservist. For many years, he was central to managing SAREXs.

Services were Friday April 7, in Aberdeen. (Read Ken's obituary)
