One was in the name of my Dad, who flew PBY-5s in and around Sepik River, New Guinea, and Rabaul Island in the SW-Pacific. Fully engaged mentally, he died in 2014 at the age of 97.
The other engraved brick was for my Dad's co-pilot, Lou Conter!

God bless your late father! These PBY guys were seriously bad ass. Youll be happy to learn Mr Conter is hale and hearty, having just turned 96. He often travels around the country receiving well-deserved recognitions. When he returns from Pearl Harbor the sheriff will dispatch deputies in full dress uniform to drive him the 80 miles Home. Hes a local celebrities and frequently speaks to schoolchildren and other groups. Hes become a great friend to me and my son. Though he lives some distance we make a point of going to visit at least once a month. Well be seeing him the week after Christmas. Please give us your dads name and well be happy to remember him to Lou.
