My 4th was great. I took Molly Hupp to a swiming hole on the Sandy River. On the way back to a great barbeque at home, I stopped at the store and some old folks came over, a "3-Wars" veteran of 83 years and his wife. The guy flew B-29s in 1942. An awesome fellow in really excellent tone for his age. He has every indication of making 103. They were all over the car and invited me to come to the camp in Welches where they were staying. Food and fireworks. Well, I had the food at home but showed up at Camp Arrawanna and in the midst about 40 delighted people and their kids there, set the Victrola 50 on the running board and played patriotic marches from Susa and contemporaries as the fireworks were going off. It was a great day from start to finish. Best to ye, : ) Edward in Zigzag ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
