OUR NAME

“Grampaw Pettibone” was essentially the “Dear Abby” of the magazine Naval Aviation News, written and published by the Navy at Naval Air Station Anacostia, in Arlington, Virginia. People, mostly Naval Aviators, would write in describing their adventures (or often, misadventures) and “Gramps” would answer with his admonition about what could, or should, have been done. Sometimes these were not just anecdotes of interest, but poignant lessons to the rest of us to help us avoid loss or injury. Grampaw Pettibone was like a coach.

Come join us for lunch. Now and then some of these interesting tales get told.

Share.
