The Story of the Gumby Patch
"Gumby became our unofficial [mascot] about 4 to 5 years ago, when we adopted the motto of Semper Gumby. This was a result of a cadet noticing that we always had to remain flexible to accomplish our missions. The cadet, with the last name of Storm, sugjested the new motto and it stuck."
"A short time laterm, a friend of our Operations Officer and now Deputy Commander for Cadets, drew a cartoon of Gumby in our squadron aircraft. This was also turned into a special award for exceptional service to the squadron, and first presented to Major Robert Wright for significant contributions to squadron flying operations. Around this time, the Gumby patch was born. And the rest, as is said, is history."
