A little while ago, we went to Hello Folks in Fox Lake and had a nice talk with my honorary "Pop." This is what everyone calls him as he essentially is everyone's father.
He is also a World War II veteran, having fought in the Burma/Thailand area.
At age 93, he is sharp as a tack and is often out with his son Kenny. Kenny was born exactly one day after me, on May 25, 1951.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
