My son (Phoenix, AZ) sent me an
E-Mail last spring (19 Aug 99) to check out this page... Boy, was I ever surprised
when it appeared! I called Jim Briggs (Pilot) in
Del Ray Beach, Florida, and he also got a big surprise!! I have
also E-Mailed Neal Witherell (Radio Operator/Top Turret
Gunner) in Colorado.
