03 Dec 2000 In memory of a Chamblee High School graduate who did not come back, from another who did. Ken Davis kjdavis@alltel.net

29 Oct 2003 Just a note from one of Billy's close friend from high school. It was a sad day when I learned of Billy's death and had dreams about him for for a couple of years after that. He a great guy. H. K. Edwards hkeinsepct@bellsouth.net

5 Oct 2004 My brother was Captain Michael Woodside, who died along with Lt. Creech. Countless lives have been forever changed because of that tragical day. May they both rest in peace, and may the friends and family of Lt. Creech know that many still mourn the loss of these fallen heroes. Penelope Woodside penelopewoodside@netzero.net
