For those who remember I am an Air Force veteran. Dee was an electric Quarterback at the AF Academy in the Eighties and was a lot of fun to watch in those days. Dee was killed early Tuesday morning in a traffic accident. He was 48.

Arguably the best player in AF history.  IIRC, he led them to a couple top 5 finishes.
