What a treasure to see this picture! If someone will tell me how to upload images, and if there is interest in more pix of the 4th, I will look for the ones I have and send them out.

Well Sharon it turns out that Andrew Lacy who is in the picture with your father lives just down the road a bit from where I live here is a article from the local paper about him.

No you aren't.
I am amazed that someone like her comes to a game forum and receives a response like she has. I bet she will get more information from this site than she will get anywhere.

Sharon, if you are interested, feel free to join any of us in the game. I bet your father would be proud to see you in a cartoon version of his plane.

Sharon Boretsky · « **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2007, 09:01:38 AM »

LOL!!! You guys are just great! Hope the stories and pictures keep coming, and hope it makes your gaming more "real", too! I may just take you guys up on your offer to join in.......
I know my Dad would be humbled by the salutes but proud, as well.
Thanks to everyone.

The depth of knowledge of the members of this site never ceases to amaze me. ~~to all of you, ~~to Sharon, and ~~to your father and the entire 4th.~~~~~~

What is the significance of "Meg" ... is that your Mom's name ?

<~~> to your Dad !!!~~

Sharon Boretsky · « **Reply #28 on:** December 13, 2007, 01:15:56 PM »

Thanks for asking about MEG....
This is where the stories can get fun...and I hope to still talk to any of the original guys for more, if they remember!....
My Dad was SO shy, he had never had a girlfriend, and MEG stood for Mary Ellen G...(don't know last name) who was a neighbor he kind of had a crush on..in fact, he was still so innocent, (if ya know what I mean) that his buddies at Debden pooled their money to send him for his first experience......

No... your not the only one moved. When I see someone so interested in their families past, I am moved.... even more so in this case as Sharon's Father was actually in the conflict we are all so interested in.

Sharon ~~to your Father, you, and your entire family.~~
