In this episode of Dearest Suzie, we read Bill Lowie’s diary entry from October 25, 1964, where he recounts another mission chasing Viet Cong forces with ARVN troops. Beyond the battlefield, this episode takes a deeper dive into Popi's life, tracing his journey from his birth in Georgia to his experiences across the globe. From peeling potatoes for Hungarian refugees following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution to “capturing” Elvis Presley in Germany, Popi's story is one of service, adventure, and devotion to family. Alongside stories of war, we explore Popi's post-military life, flying for Starkist Tuna, his near-death experience at sea, and his fight with alcoholism. His life was complex, filled with trials and quirks, but ultimately a reflection of a man who never stopped moving.

What’s Covered:

  • A diary entry detailing an October 25, 1964 mission in Vietnam
  • Popi's early life, family background, and childhood
  • His unexpected role during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
  • Meeting Mema and their early life together
  • Career highlights, including his military service, flying for Starkist Tuna, and brushes with danger
  • Reflections on his later years and legacy

📷 Featured Photo: Popi at 27, standing on the airfield in Vinh Long.
