REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN noted that when he first came to Alaska in
1980, he met a helicopter pilot named Gordon McDonald, who owned
a business in Circle called Sunshine Copters; he had been a
pilot in Vietnam and, after all the missions he flew safely in
Vietnam, he was ultimately killed by a caved-in roof.

wonderful person, and any time Vietnam-era helicopter pilots are
mentioned he thinks of him.
