You are flying free, ,now. Dean... Thank you for all those years of kindness and support emotionally you gave me and my Mom after the death of my Dad in 1960. You and your wife were there when I learned to fly , there when I crashed my plane and supported me mentally to get back up and fly. You were so strong and could always out walk me and my husband for years. You never talked about your time in the military....I did not know you flew in those larger aircraft...and i was ashamed when Mrs told me you probably would not want to go see them when they were in town. I realize now, a lot of the veterans of WW II did not talk about those times...a loss for us....to you and your family, I send my heartfelt condolences.......DONNA KAY
