If your father is Don Koons, he was the ball gunner.  My dad was the waist gunner.  The tail gunner was Dale Martz and he also lives in PA.  I have met Don and talked to him several times by phone.  I have talked to Dale a couple of times and wanted to meet himn at the reunion this year but I couldn't make it. I also met the pilot Al Hanson in 1967, before his passing away.  The navigator, Harry Watson,. lives in TX and we met at the Dayton reunion in 2000.
