Robert_Biza.jpgBarracks conference127 viewsThe one on the bed is "B" Battery Clerk Robert P. Biza. The others all around him is a big question. I asked Jim Kaller, he was a clerk too, but he could only ID Robert. The other guys seated around him could be from "B" Battery also or perhaps some of the drivers. I remember Robert though; I slept in the same hooch with him. Anyone recognize the others?

IMG_6147.jpgFound my Freedom Bird!127 viewsI arranged the visit with the public affairs officer at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. The plane is used for dog training at Lackland, and has the wings and tail removed. The Air Force could not have been more hospitable towards us. It was really cool to be back aboard again.
Incidentally, I read the entire book Fail Safe out loud to the guy next me
on the way home. I don't know why!
