Well tonight, the same date I posted the above Message, I called Paul (in Florida) from California and discussed my message simply because of my saying let's "cut to the chase." I asked Paul when he first saw the 457th BG web site. His reply was ... "just yesterday -- was the first time." Turns out that Paul's Grandfather former Flight Engineer T/Sgt. Martin Norsic, after service discharge returned the Cleveland, Ohio and became a Policeman for the City of Cleveland. Martin had two sons and had pretty well baptized them into model plane building, then building his own plane and teaching his two sons and himself to fly. Martin Norsic moved up the line to Detective. He passed away in 1980. I mentioned to Paul about the 457th BG Reunion scheduled for this coming November 1 through 4, 2007 at the Hilton Garden Inn, 12 Via DeLuna Dr, Pensacola,  Florida. AND ... the Reunion Group will visit the Pensacola Naval Air Station and Museum. Both of Norsic's adult sons (as well a Paul Renner) live in Florida. I suggested they attend the November Reunion (and to be sure ... one of the three submit Martin Norsic's Obit to the Association Secretary ... so Norsic's passing could be a part of the Religious Services at the Reunion in Pensacola, Florida. I suggested to Paul he get together with his two uncles (Norsic's sons) and share the photos, medals, etc they were given by their Mother with Paul AND to scan all same 457th BG photos for posting on this web site for future generations to see. I reminded Paul (and Uncles) to watch the PBS the WWII documentary series "THE WAR" starting this September 23, 2007. Sunday evening at 8:00 PM. Check www.pbs.org/thewar
