Cliff gave an excellent presentation, which was videotaped, at the 8th AF Historical Society of Minnesota luncheon on June 13, 2012 with his son, Dan. Cliff's wife, Beatrice, children, and grandchildren also attended and they celebrated his birthday. Unfortunately his pilot, Robbie Robertson, had an accident just before getting on the plane to come to the meeting and he could not attend. Cliff is the founder of the MISCO speaker company.
