Ben:
I can remember being on the beach on Guadalcanal and watching the P-38's and Zero's in dog fights. They were mostly done at night, and the search lights would light up the Zeros but not the 38's or 51's. I think that those of us that use to watch those dog fights are getting much smaller. I am now 83 going on to 84 and am still in good health, but I know that a lot (many) my age are failing and passing away. I was in the Third Marine Divison, Ninth Marines at the time.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.
