Memphis Bell

[slownlow]

Quite a few years ago, I'm not telling how many, my dad and went to the local airport to see a B17. While there we met my high school orchestra director. A nice man who let us get away with murder, during one concert the base fiddle section played the Peter Gun theme and got away with it. We talked a while and he seemed very familiar with the plane. Finally I asked why he knew so much about them and he said he flew them during the war. My opinion of the man went way up that day. Now that's a quiet hero.

I remember when that happened.

This was a shame. Because they could have possibly saved her had the field not been too soft for the trucks to get out to her.
