I know it's not technically a photo of Gary, and it's not much, but I put this together for my own profile- anyone else can use it as they wish.

Someone mentioned Retroaviation stickers with proceeds going to a shelter to take care of Gary's dogs... let me know when and where to donate.

I think one of the best is a self portrait from the WIX photo contest thread as posted by the master craftsman in his own words. You can see he is proud of his accomplishment...rightfully so.


And finally, I think the look says it all.

One B-24A tailgunner's section.........8 months labor
Parts, materials, and gun.......donations from WIXers
One fat boy being the first person to sit in a B-24A tailgunner's sling during flight for the first time in around 67 years.........PRICELESS!!!

So WIXers, thanks for making that project so memorable to me! I'll never forget it.


We'll never forget it either. God speed Gary
