Bits wants to come your way and see you all. He made it home ok and his plane is in the shop being tweaked. Don't give up on him you all are still on the list of people to see. Check this pic out he sent me of him in Japan in 1956.

as I visted with Bits his memories dovetailed with some of mine although he has about 14 years on me. And you are right it was like going home. His values are so like the values of my father in law a man that traveled many miles on my life path with me. We should treasure them while they are still with us.

Bits was paying his gas bill when getting ready to leave. The man behind the counter was asking him if he was a member of this or that organization as he was going to give him a discount. Bits said, "No. I am not a member of anything. I am just an old Marine."

That made me smile.
