LE ROY PENNYSAVER & NEWS - MAY 15, 2022 by Lynne Belluscio Two years ago, in October, 2020, I wrote an article about Milt Thompson. At that time, plans were being made to have his name engraved on the Korean War bench in front of the Soldiers’ monument on Trigon Park. The black granite bench was placed near the Soldiers’ monument through the generous contributions made in the name of Frank Elliott - a Korean War veteran. (His initials are engraved on the east side of the bench.) With the pandemic scare, that never happened, but plans are well underway this year for the American Legion to recognize this local hero. When we were making plans for the Koran War bench, a man stopped by theHistorical Society with a notebook of information about men from Genesee County who had died in service during the Korean War, and I remember him telling us about Milt Thompson who was not listed anywhere. Milt was in the Airforce National Guard based in Niagara Falls and had died in an airplane crash in Ohio, flying a P-47 back from Florida. And sure enough, in our clipping files was the newspaper article: Capt. Milton W. Thompson, 30 of 115 North St, often decorated hero of World War II, was killed Monday (Feb. 11, 1952) when his fighter plane crashed and burned near Mansfield , O., while on a flight from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla To Selfridge Air Force Base, Mt. Clemens, Mich. The LeRoyan was in a flight of four F-47 Thunderbolts of the 136th Fighter Interceptor Squadron stationed at Niagara Falls, when his plane developed engine trouble. Capt. Thompson attempted an emergency landing after his engine conked out at 8,000 feet. The plane exploded and crashed in flames. The pilot’s last message was: ‘I can’t see. Smoke and fire in the cockpit.’ Other members of the flight said they saw the LeRoyan jettison his cockpit canopy but that he apparently was too low to bail out. Flying with him were Capt. Arthur J. Roehling of Lancaster, the flight leader, who landed at Mansfield Airport and reported the crash, 1st Lt Robert E. Ross of East Aurora and 2n Lt. Robert Haron of Niagara Falls. The four planes were returning from gunnery practice in Florida. Capt. Thompson was recalled to active duty last March with the squadron based at Niagara Falls. A native of Irondeqoit, Capt. Thompson had resided in LeRoy for 30 years and was a graduate of LeRoy High School. (1938) Capt. Thompson received his wings at Napier Field, Dothan, Ala, on November 13, 1943 after entering the service in January of that year.” Milt Thompson’s name is engraved on the Korean monument in Washington D.C.. Milt was buried in Machpelah Cemetery, with military honors in 1952. Stores were closed and a military funeral procession came down Main Street. A service was held in the Machpelah Chapel. Until 2020, his gravesite had not been marked with a flag on Memorial Day. Milt was a World War II hero. He was a Thunderbolt pilot in Europe and his plane flew 91 missions against the Luftwaffe. He was sometimes referred to as the most decorated Genesee County serviceman, and in May, 1945, received his 14th decoration. Capt. Thompson received 13 Oak Leaf Clusters for his Air Medal and wore the Silver Star and Order of the Purple Heart. His P-47 - 30 Thunderbolt was known as “All Balls Out” and was painted with LeRoy NY when Milt was flying. He was shot down in 1945 and seriously wounded while dive bombing a target in Germany. His plane caught on fire but he managed to make a landing behind Allied lines. When he arrived at the hospital, they removed 21 pieces of flak from his right leg, arm and side. After the war he returned home to LeRoy and joined his father in the ornamental iron business on North Street. Capt. Thompson was a member of the BottsFiorito Post, the Percy Luttell Post VFW and the LeRoy Presbyterian Church. It should also be noted, that Milton’s brother, Robert was a private with a paratrooper division in Europe and was taken prisoner and for nearly a year before he made his escape. While returning to the American lines, he was killed by artillery fire on December 7, 1943. His name appears on the World War II monument on Trigon Park. It should be mentioned that Capt. Brian Duddy, Ret Air Force, formerly from LeRoy, was instrumental in gathering additional information about Milton Thompson. And through his generosity, Milton’s name will be engraved on the Korean War bench. As Brian reminds us, “On the Air Force Team, we take care of our own.” Please join us this Memorial Day, as this community and his family, remembers Milton Thompson. The parade assembles at the American Legion on West Main at 10 AM, and proceeds down Main Street to Trigon Park. “Fire and Smoke in the Cockpit”

Dalton Luke had a strong defensive game at second base and the Red Sox managed to turn two double plays in crucial moments. Sammy Bogue, Carter McClurg, and Jacob Keller pitched well striking out ten batters. The Red Sox would draw two walks to start the fifth inning. Colton Halladay would come to the plate and belted a three run homerun over the left field fence. After 5 innings the Red Sox led 7-4. In the sixth inning, the Red Sox scored three insurance runs. The O’s looked to the top of their lineup for a rally. The Orioles did draw closer scoring three but fell short with the Red Sox winning 10-7. Twins 9 Tigers 2 - The twins would find their groove again with a victory over the tigers. Peyton Privitera would get things going on the mound as he had an 85 pitch complete game tallying up 11 strikeouts. Eddie Lathan continued his hot streak going 2 for 4 with 2 rbi’s and 2 runs. Matthew McCulley would reach base twice while holding down first base like a pro. Andrew Sibley reached first base on a single and would later score. Nick Porcelli would also find home after a nice single as well. Brody Wilson also legged out a single with his first little league hit. Carson Wetsell, Ben Geittner and Isaac Morrison went on to play solid defense in the outting. The talk of the town would be 12 year old slugger Kylie Wilson. In the first inning on the 3rd pitch, Kylie sent a ball over 200 feet deep to center field for seasons first over the wall HOME RUN! For the Tigers, ace Drew Beachel would have a day as he struck out 8 batters and go on to hit for a triple and an inside the park home run of his own. Ryker Vangalio would go 1 for 3 on the day with a single and run scored. Missing their star catcher, Carter Page, Ryan Crissy would fill in his shoes and the speedster wouldn’t make it easy for the twins to score. Reece Pryzbyl, Ryder Stiles, Dalton Luke, Logan Kanaley, Joe Wujcik and Thomas Englerth would all play really solid defense.
