From the 1971 CNAC Mailing List: Johnny Shoemaker 73 Kadorie Ave. Kowloon, Hongkong, B.C.C. From the 1995 and 2000 CNAC Mailing List: Capt John Shoemaker 930 Fifth Ave 12A New York, NY 10021 212-772-2722 Current address (in 2004): 880 Fifth Avenue, Apartment 9D New York, NY 10021-4951.  Johnny Shoemaker and wife Audrey Shanghai - 1949 (Photo Courtesy of Tom Moore) July 23, 2004 Dear Tom, The picture is of me with my wife Audrey. The place is probably Shanghai in 1949 when I was a Captain for CITS for a 4 month period until returning to Hong Kong in April 1949. Audrey is with me here and is well. Her brother Gibby (Gibson) died last year unexpectedly. Gibby, who joined CNAC in 1943, was my partner when we left CNAC and started a small charter airline in Hong Kong. The music on all the web sights remind me of the days in Shanghai. The date of your uncle's crash happens to be my eighteenth birthday. That makes me 80 last March 14. Also that was the date I joined the US Navy's V-5 program. At the time I was attending the New Mexico Military Institute just finishing my first year of college. In November of 1945 when I was stationed in Shanghai as a Navy pilot I had sufficient points to get a discharge from the Navy and joined CNAC as a pilot. There are many recollections which I must wait until I write my memoirs. My address in New York is 880 Fifth Avenue, Apartment 9D, New York, NY 10021-4951. Audrey and I left Hong Kong in November 2002 after living their for 54 years. I still go back each year as I still have my company there, General Resources Limited. All the best, Johnny and on July 22, 2004, I received the following: Dear Tom, The music on all the web sights remind me of the days in Shanghai.

There are many recollections which I must wait until I write my memoirs. Presently I am trying to raise funds for a new Corporation which holds biological patents for a cure for Aids. The company has already raised 33 million which has been spent over the past 5 years and presently raising 25 more.of which almost 20 has been subscribed. Last year the FDA approved the use of the system for five human patients. In the past all research was performed on simians. All 5 patients were in the last stages of Aids and could no longer tolerate the cocktail of pills. The first patient was treated a year ago and the others in sequence every three months. All are doing very well and seem to be on the way to full recovery. They do not get rid of HIV but do get rid of the Aids infection and their ammune systems show very good signs of inproving. The first three treated have increase by 25% already. I am telling you about this because you may know someone interested in investing a minimum of half a million in our company which in 2 years will probably be worth ten times the present price of $1.25 per share. Should you wish to know more about the company I can email an outline and other information. You may put me on your email list and I will look forward to hearing from some of our old friends. Best regards, John  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor, Tom Moore, know. Thanks! |
