Gary:

Here's hoping Mason kept you guys entertained, wined and dined to make up for the disappointment of East Texas. Seems like I only get to Texarkana for funerals... and still on my bucket list is a long, long journey back to Nashville where we lived for five years about a hundred years ago... LOL!

It is strange how the current generation (and media executives) have seemed to erase WW II and all their sacrifices from what it accomplished. Time flies but I still am thankful for my Uncle's time spent in Australia, New Guinea, the Philippines and Japan... then Korea. My other Uncle (Mom's Brother) was a Corpsman but he never talked about his war experiences.

All my best, ----Dave
