  ...
  Their names: General Daniel James Jr., and Dale Lawrence White.
  ...
  Dale White retired as a civilian employee at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1971, having risen from a junior aircraft mechanic to foreman.He died last Dec. 15.
  
  "Chappie" James was known throughout the world.He was a command pilot, he served in many command positions in the U.S Air Force, he was one of the most decorated of U.S airmen, and he was a four-star General--the first black to achieve that rank.
  
  Dale White also was an airman-- one of the first black airmen.He trained himself as a mechanic and skimped and saved money to pay for private flying lessons.He was one of the founding members of the National Airmen Association of America.He and Chauncey E. Spencer, son of Lynchburg's celebrated poetess Anne Spencer, were chosen to fly a rented plane to Washington in 1939 to meet with a Congressional committee in an effort to gain the admission of blacks into the Air Corps.They met Senator Harry S. Truman, who promised to help them, and after he became President issued the executive orders which opened many doors to blacks in America.
  
  In 1940, White applied for employment as an airplane mechanic at Patterson Field but was turned down because of his race.He requested permission to speak with the chief personnel officer, explained his long struggle to qualify himself for this job, and was hired.He was then 40 years of age.He retired 31 years later at the age of 71, with a record that was without blemish, reprimand or error, and starred with commendations.
  
  Upon his death, Spencer his friend and a co-founder of the NAAA, wrote to the Secretary of the Air Force, citing White's contributions as paving the way for men such as "Chappie" James: "It was the character, dedication, tact, respect and work application exhibited by Dale White, his being first that opened opportunities and avenues for many who followed him and it established a positive example that overshadowed those others who attitude and work performance failed to meet policies and required standards.
  ...
  So was Dale White.The one was recognized as one of the greats of the U.S. Air Force.The other passed his life in relative obscurity.
  ...
  It was the recognition that Chauncey Spencer sought for Dale White from the Secretary of the Air Force.
  ...
  Only his family and friends knew of and mourned the death of Dale White, who did so much to open the door to General James' remarkable career.

  HORTON - Dale White, mayor of this northeastern Kansas town and a member of St. Leo Parish here, is ready to spend the evening of Dec. 5 ascending into heaven.
  
  No, White isn't dying.
  
  He's taking part in a community-wide reenactment of the life and death of Jesus called the Christmas Luminarias, perhaps the largest one-night event of this community of 2,000.
  
  Ten churches in the community, including St. Leo and St. Mary of nearby Purcell, have hosted the event for 14 years.

  Angry residents peppered Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Ann Diamond with questions about Thursday's ruling by the 2nd Court of Appeals that Dale White is mayor because Scott Bradley was legally ousted.
  ...
  Also last night, to cheers from the crowd of about 70, resident David Brown told aldermen what to do if White is seated as mayor: Put White on trial and remove him from office, using the same statute used to oust Bradley.
  ...
  Brown, who founded the citizens group Westlake First in March, presented the aldermen with an 83- signature petition listing six "charges" against White, including incompetence, acting against the citizens and the best interest of the town, and taking actions deliberately intended to cause harm to the town and its residents.
  
  White had planned to be seated as mayor last night.
  ...
  White sat without speaking in the second row.
  ...
  After the meeting, White said that although the residents' comments and the talk of a trial was "very embarrassing," he still plans to sit as the town's mayor.
  
  "I'm here to assume my duties as mayor," he said.
  
  ...
  White is mayor."
  
  She also said that the court battle over the mayor's office was "one of the most thoroughly litigated cases I've seen in my life."
  
  ...
  On Friday, White's attorney said that White is mayor and could be seated at the next Board of Aldermen meeting.
  ...
  In a letter to Town Attorney Paul Isham, Diamond said that a decision on whether White could be seated was "something for other lawyers present to articulate, not the District Attorney's Office."
  ...
  "Mr. Bradley may or may not be correct in saying that Mr. White cannot on his own force the Board of Aldermen to respect and abide by the recent ruling of the Court of Appeals," she wrote.
  ...
  Bradley may or may not be correct in saying that White cannot on his own enforce his right to sit as mayor until there is a mandate or until some other legal process issues."
  ...
  White, 75, is a retired airline pilot who ]was Westlake mayor for 18 years, leading several fights to restrict development of Circle T Ranch before Perot bought it in 1993.
  
  In 1994, White decided not to run for re-election.
