A few years back I posted my father's story on a free website and then it disappeared from the site. It was one of those sites that if you don't log in often enough they delete your page.

Well now I uploaded it on a blog site. You will need to click on each page to expand it to read it.

(to get to this site enter .b logspot with no spaces betweenthe b and l and insert after the word warrior. This is a good site Don Byers)

I hope you all enjoy his story. His birthday is next month and I reposted it for him as part of his birthday suprise. He and my mom live in southern california.

If any one wants to contact him, please email me and I will get you in contact.

The software looks for this Blog and stops it so you need to get to this site this way.

It would appear the words "Blog" and "Spot", as part of a web address, get rewritten as "Please notify admin that this user is back" when used together.

A bit of grubbing around found how to view the pages.

The story of S/Sgt Eugene Hall of the 612th Bomb Squadron, the ball gunner in 42-106992 SC-D "Grin 'n' Bare It".

Well done Kathy (and Melissa) for writing and posting the story, it's a great read. Please pass on my hearty congratulations to your father on his birthday. I'd love to see a photo of that Kettering-made jacket someday.

Best wishes,
Paul

Oh how funny. I thought I was the first in my family to find this website. The above post is my mother Kathy and I am Melissa! 😂

Well, I just posted a photo of a tattoo I got in honor of my Grandpa and his missions on the Grin N Bare It in the Misc section. Here's the link!

What a wonderful story AND document. This is the kind of thing that we would like to add to the website once it has been updated (and scrubbed).

I will definitely be contacting you in the future about this.
