OT: DOOLITTLE RAIDERS

I was at a local auction sometime ago.
The "auction house" personnel cleaned out the "remains" of ASSETS of an elderly gentleman's quarters at one of the Homes-of-the-ELDERLY, here.

I have in my posession the official stuff that comes from an ARMY AIR CORP. officer that was involved with the DOOLITTLE RAIDERS, circa 1940's.

I hope to donate the collection to that US AIR FORCE MUSEUM that is located close to your WOOD's. ATLANTA.

Do YOU think this is a good idea?

Perhaps the MUSEUM there will trade me for one of those "patches" of the MILITARY AIRLIFT COMMAND (MAC) so that I can show off my coveralls. Next TRIP.

My donation to the USAF must be fully documented, just like NAS Pensacola donations.

Maybe YOU could see to it, PLEASE, SIR.

It is someth'N, taint it. After all, the kids (most times long distances away) just may never know the VALUES of the "old man", might they?

In the past, I would have just put the STUFF (considered personal) in an envelope and sent to the eldest child of the family as the "REMAINS". However, most times they (the family) had nothing but bad experiences and all that I seem to do is STIR 'EM UP AGAIN. Therefore, I just don't bother the family members.

Personal records in cabinet drawers, family pictures, birth certificates, etc. GARBAGE CAN!!

Therefore, a SOUTHERN MUSEUM might be the best ROUTE in NOVEMBER.

The rest of this summer it will cost me too much $$$$$ keeping the stuff under the proper storage conditions here in my residence.

That MITCHELL shure looks good.

John, late for WORK!!!!! !!
