  2. I worked for a former Air Force colonel who was my dad’s CO in Korea.  During WWII, he was a bombardier on B17s.  He explained that his number one responsibility was to protect that bombsight! In the event that the plane was going down, he was to destroy the bombsight to prevent it from falling into enemy hands.

     

    To that end, part of his training was spent with Army Rangers, (or whatever they were called at the time) and he received extra training in hand to hand and demolition.

     

    He said that he was instructed to bring it back if he could or “to see that it wasn’t captured at all costs”!

    And for those of you who have never sat at table and shared a meal with Tom, if ya have the opportunity, do it!  You'll walk away with a grin that'll just keep comin' back!  :D


    A few years ago, Schoolmarm and I took what for her was a bucket list trip!  She had just finished up breast cancer treatment and decided it was time to go see some of the WEST!

     

    Along our itinerary were stops to visit a few of the people that we had become acquainted with on the Wire!  We ended up staying with Forty and his little dog, Trinket, for a few days!!

     

    As a result, Schoolmarm is enamored with that ol’ cuss and we talk on the phone with him, sometimes four or five times a week!!  We both consider him among our closest friends!!

  4. WELLL! Schoolmarm lied!! She said she wasn’t going to cook again for a few days.

     

    While I was gone all day, yesterday, she did biscuits, bacon, and sliced up some tomatoes!  Hatfield brought home a big mess of fried chicken tenders last night.

     

    I had chicken biscuits with bacon, tomato, and cheese for supper last night!

     

    The home health lady just finished rebandaging my foot.  Said it looked good.

  5. Okay , everybody!!

     

    I just got off the phone with Forty! He sounded pretty good and he was in good spirits!

     

    He’s in the NorCal District VA hospital in Prescott.

     

    He told me that they have made some excellent progress and that he already is feeling much better.  He figures to be in the hospital for at least another week!

     

    That’s all I have for now!! 
     

    Keep it up!!
