Local WWII Vet

This article was in the local paper today. Amazing the folks living just (metaphorically) around the corner.

That was a great read Brian.

If you see him someday, please shake his hand for me. And, if The Collings Foundation gets up your way, please make sure someone gets him out to see their B-24J, "Witchcraft". I know the crew would be impressed, and give him a free ride. He truely deserves that much.

I will send the link to my contacts at Collings. :d

Great stuff!

After reading the article, toward the latter end of his WW-II missions, sounds to me like he prolly had some Tuskegee escorts too!

Excellent article Brian, they were a different breed back then. Thanks for sharing it,

They hit here every two to three years with the 24. Last time was two years ago so maybe this summer.
