[Dr. Franklin]

Not to sound mean but I am surprised he is still alive. He has had a heck of a life.

Those WWII vets are tough cookies. All they needed was a cup of coffee to conquer the world, but they needed that cup of coffee first.

For sure some tough individuals.

My father is a WWII vet, in fact he was able to go on an Honor Flight a few years ago and actually met Bob Dole and had a nice conversation with him. He’s a retired dentist and made “Doc Calls” handmade beautiful duck calls and he’s got his picture with Dole on his website. He said it was one of the highlights of his life as they got to see their WWII memorial.

My father is 95 and got Covid last January when he was 94, before we knew it was going to be ravaging here. He and my mother who I’m also certain had it, she’s now 93, both recovered. Later we knew it had been Covid because they lost sense of taste for months.

Tough people that generation.
