PERRY WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR OF SOME OF HIS WAR EXPERIENCES AS WE CHATTED ON HIS PATIO, ONE SUMMER AFTERNOON. HE. HE FELT THAT THE LORD HAD PROTECTED HIM AS HE FLEW HIS MISSIONS. . HE HAD A SUBTLE SENCE OF HUMOR, AND I CAN'T FORGET WHAT HE QUIETLY SAID ONE SUNDAY IN CHURCH, AFTER ANOTHER OF OUR FRIENDS DEATH, "IT LOOKS LIKE OUR OLD GANG IS BREAKING UP." NO ONE COULD SAY IT LIKE HE COULD.
