Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on February 13, 2010.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that United States Air Force Major General Caleb V. Haynes was the grandson of Chang Bunker, one of the original "Siamese Twins"?

Birthplace duality edit

Some sources say Haynes was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina, and others say Dobson, a little to the west in the same county. The gravestone reads "Dobson". Binksternet (talk) 23:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Vance Haynes, the general's son, said to me on the phone that he put Dobson on his father's gravestone because that is what he remembered from family history. This despite the fact that he knew that his father always reported his birthplace as Mount Airy. Binksternet (talk) 21:37, 18 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Death date edit

All online sources specify April 5, 1966 as Haynes's death date, except for the photo of his gravestone at Arlington, which reads April 4, 1966. Binksternet (talk) 23:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Two local obits put his death date at April 5. His son Vance Haynes says that the general went to bed on April 4 complaining of pain such that he intended to go to the hospital in the morning, but in the morning he was found to have died during the night. One of the two local obits says he was rushed in an ambulance to nearby Fort Ord military hospital where he died, the other, later obit says he died at home. Both obits were in the same newspaper; I believe the second one is more measured and reflects fuller reportage. Binksternet (talk) 23:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
That is because the physician puts on the death certificate where they made the call that you are dead-on-arrival. It all depends on whether they take you to a hospital or a funeral home when you die.--Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 06:05, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'll review this tomorrow.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have changed Haynes command of the 41st National Guard (sourced from af.mil bio) to command of the 116th Observation Squadron, 41st National Guard Aviation, following the death of Commander Major John T. Fancher. This cited information is from a Felts Field Historic District application approved by the federal government. The cite says Major C. V. Haynes, but I do not know whether to put that National Guard rank in the article; if this passing mention of the rank is enough to support the article saying he served as acting major of the 116th. Binksternet (talk) 16:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I doubt that he was even temporarily promoted to major that early. He probably assumed command as a captain; a little unusual, but hardly unprecedented. Fix the capitalizations and I'll put this puppy to bed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have capitalized two words in one title: Every Inch a Soldier. If there are more to complete, I am not seeing them. Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Just National Geographic Magazine.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've gone ahead and done them, just to put this to bed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Thank you! I appreciate the work you have done. Binksternet (talk) 04:35, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
