Hi Joe:
I am sorry that I am late in a reply to your e-mail. I sort of gave up looking for an e-mail from that family. You started a couple of days before I did but we all completed 35 missions. Was it luck or faith with a little help from god. Jill's Jalopy was our plane and was shot down on Aug. 24 1944 but we were to fly on that mission but 10 min. after waking us up our crew was not to fly that mission. I am in touch with one top gunner of our plane when it was shot down by fighters.  Long story, still lookig for Henry.
           Thanks for your E-mail Joe
