        Thanks. You're better than Google. 😉 Halfway through "Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans" - why this isn't a standard part of HS curricula is beyond me.

        I love when you post this every year. Today is also Liberation Day in the Netherlands. The President should reflect on these things before receding from the liberal democratic order established by this conflict. Perhaps it's not so smart to turn our back on NATO.

        His father was too old for WWII & it may not have played the role in his family that it did for most of us. My father was in for 4 years; my uncle died in the bomber he piloted after staying aloft long enough to get the crew out).If Fred was like Don, he probably profited off it.

        Maybe you are right. Coincidentally, my great uncle also died in a bomber in which he was co-pilot.

        Sorry. I have two cousins named for my uncle (my brother was already named and Dad just got two girls or we might have had a Cecil, too). Years later my cousins and I, grown, got into an interesting discussion about growing up privately believing he was watching out for us.
