WWII was my dad’s war as well. Flew on B-29s over “The Hump”. He died over 25 years ago, a youngish man of 69. I think about him at some point every day.

He loved the Yankees…

Came home broken. Died when I was a kid, too. Never talked about the war. Mom said he brought it home and it killed him. Teeth and hair fell out. Bumps grew on his body. Early agent orange, maybe. Never know.

As for Steven Drew, just when you think he has had it, he hits it. Meaningless?

Take care. In May, we scattered my Dad’s ashes in Pearl Harbor. He was on the USS Tennessee during the attack.
