I am honored to have had Mr. Karnezis as my Aeronautics Instructor. He is a great American Hero and a good friend of my Father John Gates.

I also was honored to have had Mr. Karnezis as an Aeronautics instructor at Sac City College. I also had your dad as an instructor as well. They were both my 4th semester instructors. I later worked with a friend of your dads when I worked for Delta Airlines many years ago. His name was Joseph ( Moxie) Micieli. All good men.

Hi Paul, I remember your Dad, he kept a Shell gas station map in the Cessna 172 we shared. Said he flew IFR, I follow roads. He liked to kid around. My Dad really enjoyed his company. Alec
