Some day I will tell you guys how having a broken lawn mower fixed made a connection that led me to the web page in memory of SSgt Dempsey, one of father's crewmates, where I found two pictures of my father. Some of his crew were named in the photos, he was not but he was clearly recognizable to me. With over 12 million men in uniform during the war and the passage of 70 years what were the odds of me finding this connection?
Even more amazing is the collection of video interviews on Youtube of my father's flight engineer and top turret gunner, the late Red Eudaily, here he talks about remembering those who were lost. I wish I had found these sooner and had a chance to meet him before he passed.
