    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    Klamath Falls, OR. It's the closest town to us. About 25 miles. It's where we do All our shopping.

    I've seen many a headstones where long term married couples where one partner passes in most cases is followed shortly thereafter by the one left behind. (Clements headstones)
    Perhaps ringing truth into a "Broken Heart" can do you in! a sad thing it is.

    Happened to the couple next door. She died at 95 and he within a couple months at 103. He had a DFC and she had a full rack from fueling aircraft on airfields...in WW2. I still miss them.

    There doesn't seem to be much left if your life partner isn't there to share it. Not looking forward to it.

    This particular crew or the entire battalion?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
