Thanks much for sharing your memories with me. Since you shared a Quonset with the four officers, do you remember the name of his pilot? I was told that two planes were lost - one out of control with a few flyers parachuting, the other blew up. I would rather like to think that Art was in the latter which would have made his death very sudden, Art and I went to Alhambra High School together before he moved down to Ramon and I last saw him when he visited me shortly after D Day. We both experienced our first V1 that day when one flew directly over the base and everyone in the Officers Club hit the deck. Thanks again Joe
