I've written to Felix to see what he can come up with and will report back.
He's the sort of chap that if he can't remember something properly will say so. :)

All the best,
PB

Gone West. We laid Jim to rest last Monday; he was 100. The USAF sent a three-man Honor Guard to fold and present the flag and to play Taps. It was a solemn moment. I assume the group had a heck of a reunion in heaven.

Jim, I'm sorry to hear this as I have followed this story. My deepest condolences to you and your family. We unfortunately continue to lose the greatest generation. They will never be forgotten.

Thanks for sharing all of that information and journey in this thread, Ken.

100 years of a full life experiencing situations and historical events first hand. A life fully lived.

Rest In Peace


… I remember this thread from 10 years ago like it was yesterday. Great thread.
