THIS MONTH’S
silver star DICK LINDSTROM
Dick was born and raised in Connecticut. In his late teens, he was a catcher for a Pittsburgh Pirates farm club before wisely choosing instead to marry Lois, his high school sweetheart, and to complete his college education. On graduating from the University of Connecticut, Dick was commissioned as an Air Force second lieutenant and entered upon a long career as a USAF fighter pilot. Just days before his promotion to colonel, he was grounded as a pilot because of injuries received while ejecting from his stricken fighter. The Air Force stepped in and sent him to Syracuse University, where he earned the PhD in Physical Chemistry. This was followed by an appointment as a chemistry professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Upon his retirement from the Air Force, Dick accepted an appointment as a Professor and Department Head at the University of Connecticut. Eight years into that job, he was recalled to active duty by the Air Force to be the Associate Director of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Chemical Defense.

Retiring from the Air Force a second time, Lois and Dick moved to Tequesta, Fla. They were active in the Turtle Creek Club where Dick served a term as its’ President. Sadly, Lois passed in 2014, another victim of Alzheimer’s. Daughter Donna played matchmaker for dad in 2016 by pointing him toward her Connecticut next door neighbor, a very outgoing, pretty woman named Vicky Desjardins, who had also lost her spouse to Alzheimer’s. The pairing clicked, and Vicky and Dick now live with us here at Mangrove Bay.
Thumbs up, looking forward to our Cookout!
