This is my Dad. I'm still collecting and scanning photos, so there will be more to come. In addition, this is where I'll
post pictures of items: his jacket, purple heart, and others.

My dad's leather flight jacket languished in the back of a closet, probably since the early 1950's. The leather was dry,
brittle, and moldy in spots. My brother-in-law Dick (Mary's husband) has been working to restore it and the jacket is
now in superior condition. The zipper (original) even works.
