Re: Battlin' Buckeye photos
John,
  Nice website!  I'm soooo glad that I am able to send you this picture!
There are actually 2 taken a few minutes from each other during an overhaul.  
  Don't know if I posted before, but I have 162 pictures scanned from my
Grandfathers WWII album.
  Time is a real short commodity for me.  I'm currently at Fort Sam Houston in
San Antonio, attending the Joint Services Physician's Assistant School.  I am
active duty U.S. Coast Guard.  Neat to hear that the Coast Guard did a fly by.
Across town from Kelly field where this whole adventure started for your Dad
and my Grandfather.  I will do what I can whenever I have time.  If you have
patience I will come through with the info.
