CTWG: Spanning the Generations at Connecticut Wing Headquarters


11 March, 2010 - Pictured above on the left is Kyle Johnson, CT Wing's sole Cadet presently transitioning into its newest, youngest Senior Member. He presently serves as an assistant on the Public Affairs Staff. To the right is Col Lloyd Sturges, Director of Wing Operations. Both share the same commitment of service to others, as well as the exact same birthday - TODAY!

Kyle turning 18, is a Senior at Bolton High School and will be attending Central Connecticut State University as an anthropology major in the fall. He will be following the PA specialty path and working on his Mission Scanner rating. Col Sturges is well.., simply the beating heart of the CT Operations Division. A past CT Wing Commander, he also serves as a guiding moral compass for our Seniors and can pull off one heck of a simulated heart attack at the annual Wing SAR EVAL. His other life hobbies include a strong interest in the study of genealogy. He is clearly known for his sincere dislike of the word "can't". Around the Col there is only one way to approach a new challenge, "Can do, Sir!".

Together, they embody the beginning of learning to serve as well as the richness of almost a half century of life yet to be experienced. CAP is a calling that truly spans the generations.
