Love your stories Dad too knew the names what their jobs were back in the states. Where they were from. We have a little town that’s now privately owned called STORY. He’d tell me about Jim Story every time we drove thru.
Many he kept in contact with via their reunions.
One day we were sitting in a restaurant. He and another lawyer started telling war stories. They started practicing law together and had been in the same law school so had known each other for years but had not spoken about the war Finally one said he’d been in Army Air Corp? South Pacific? . Small island ? Me too ,to make a long story short. Dad’s friend had been on same island but had been the radio operator on top of the island. They had spoken together regularly in the war but had never met Didn’t know each other by sight but had been friends here in the states without realizing they had been “friends” on that little south Sea island!
Your dad must have prepare the planes and sent them to dads island and they went on from there. Wish dad had spoken earlier of his experiences but at least we did get to talk some about the war.

I think I read someone thinks you are trying to take over Ransomnote’s Q thread. Is that true ?
