Having flown UH-1B Huey gunships as a first tour pilot assigned to the same Vietnam-based Navy Seawolf squadron as the subject of this biography, Shay has put his experience to good use, conducting six Vietnam-era oral histories on behalf of the Naval Historical Center, as well as having interviewed more than fifty witnesses for this biography of a former squadron-mate.
He has served as commander of the Naval Aviation Commandery in New York, honoring naval leaders such as former Secretary of the Navy James Webb and Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps General William Nyland, for five years, and is currently a member of Seawolf Association, Game Warden Association, American Legion (on behalf of which he helped coordinate their 2018 Memorial Day parade), New York Council of the Navy League, and NYC Veterans Alliance.
Also a collector of Chinese art and photography, Shay visited fifteen different Chinese cities in order to research, photograph, and publish a two-hundred-electronic-photo book, Photographing Chinese Architecture: A Century of Change.
