Default Meeting an Ace

It has been a long time since I was last there, but I
remember the converted farm house had very good food. It
was along a country road and not in town. I had a ride
there and don't remember the road or route. But there are
lots of good places to eat in Iowa.

Seriously, WWII vets are now in their 80 and 90s, ask them
about their service and say thanks!

downtown, within

I did manage to get a few war stories from my father recorded before
he died (non-aviation; in fact non-combat). (While it didn't feature
in those stories, what he did later for the Korean war was
*anti*-aviation -- he ran the anti-aircraft gunnery training group at
Aberdeen Proving Grounds).
