Neighl was home in Enid, Oklahoma waiting for his girlfriend
to come over on that fateful Sunday, December 7, 1941. After high school, Neighl
was inducted into the U.S. Army Air Forces in July, 1943.
After basic training he was assigned to the Air Transport Command.
Neighl remembers many times flying back from the Pacific on four engine C-54
aircraft with severely wounded soldiers on board from all parts of the Pacific.
Neighl has never forgotten these heroes who gave up so much
for their country. It installed a great sense of patriotism in him that has
lasted to this day.
After the war, Neighl received a degree from the University
of Tulsa and enjoyed a long career in medical sales and technology, later
becoming a division manager for the southeast quadrant of the country.
