I heard thru AVC that you were resigning because of the hardship of reading the messages, even with a large magnifier. I am told you are on to your next hobby and learning to cope and live successfully with your eye impairmant. Good luck, and from time to time, dictate to someone to write a message to the AVC so we know how you are doing. God bless you and your family and friends. My thought are with you, Gary |

One of them a POW in a Korean consentration camp. I remember him trying to speak of his experiences and never being able to continue past a certain point. For that reason I have some understanding when you said there ere some things you didn't want to talk about. I think it is wonderful you decided to share this part of your past with us because it is our past as well and we should never forget you, my uncles and so many more who gave so much to their country and the eople who live there. I have not finished your site yet and will keep coming back until I do. I am hoping you have included your growing up years and life after the war as well. It would be nice to know what kind of person makes a war hero. |

You must have kept a log, or written up a lot of that in the 40's, or did you remember all that just looking at the pictures? I was just ll when the war ended, b t I remember how exciting it was when the soldiers/etc. returned. Thanks for referring the avconnection to your website. Best wishes for a happy retirement.
