Michael Guyote

Married to Marilyn during my entire USAF career and a good portion of civilian life. She passed away after 36 years of marriage (don’t know how she tolerated me for that long.) Had one daughter, Michelle, who passed away at the age of nine. Michelle is interred at my family site in Louisiana. Marilyn is interred at the USAF Academy cemetery.

Now married to Laura (the genius behind our 71-01 web blog). She was a programming goddess, but now writes SF novels. She’s working some fantasy material now for future books.

Michael F. Guyote – “Greyout”

“Mike ‘Fireball’ Guyote will be remembered by the B section ‘figmos’ as a man of many firsts at good old Colombo Air Patch. He was the first stud to arrive, the first to sign in wearing cut-offs and sandals, the first (and last) to get a SAC bumper sticker, the first to annihilate a motorcyclist… Last but not least, Mike will be remembered by the gang as the man who possesses the biggest finger in the Air Force and holds the 71-01 B ‘Blue Air Award’ for his unique ability to utter non-stop profanity.”
