It’s very special when the older vets show up. We’re losing the WWII vets pretty fast these days so it’s exciting, and an honor, when we get to meet one. There was a special element for us in getting to meet this one because he’d trained at Camp Forrest.
It turned out Hubby knew him back in the days when he rode motorcycles Frenchie was the mechanic who did the repairs when needed. Same goes for the head honcho at the museum. Neither of them had a clue about Frenchie’s history.
He never did tell us his real name. He said he’s gone by Frenchie since he joined the military at age 16 and it’s the name he’ll go by until the day he dies. He was such a character.
yes, we finally got some rain! And more due tomorrow and Monday. Now we don’t have to worry so much about wildfires breaking out. It’s been scary-dry here.
I noticed raindrops on the Lake Hood cam housing this morning and wondered how much there’s been, and if you’d gotten any. That’s gives y’all a little more breathing room too. It’s nice to see it green up there after being brown for so long.
2/10s...we’ll take it. Sure glad you got a bunch!
