| I think he may have a lap top with him, as he'll be in a different town from his own, but I'm not sure. As of today, he can only gain occassional access to a computer, but I can send an e-mail and hope for the best. I can ask him to try to contact you by PM.

| Senior Member | Thank you so much my friend! My son will be happy as he almost cries as he sees his papaŽs Fort grounded Just a side note- Airframes and Rochie are just on the way back to Brno airport. A friend of mine picked them up. Tell me how can I pay it back to you...perhaps...are you old enough to drink alcohol already? If so, I could send you a bottle of firewater that Airframes and Rochie liked so much

| Senior Member | Sure, IŽll send you my phone Nr. Hey, I just realized you live in Tewksbury...it canŽt be too far from S. Plainfileld. I was there 3 years ago to see my friend Joe mentioned in my siggy...what a great time we had...when I arrived there I had 2 litres of that firewater and in next 3 days there was nothing but empty bottle... And his grandson lives in Brooklyn. He just spent beautiful 10 days with me and my friends here since Aug. 21 and left us 2 days ago- this Monday. Flies back on Sept. 11. I send a package to Joe every year at Xmas time. Should you need something, just let me know and IŽd send it to Joe and you would just pick it up there. And...maybe...you will reach the right age till the Xmas

Yep, the world is small...and even smaller, when you meet the forum members. Last year I met Lee (Trackend) in Duxford and few days ago Terry (Airframes), Karl (Rochie) and Kelly (KMeyrick). Anyway, should you want to hear JoeŽs war stories, just let me know, IŽd get in touch with him, confirm the date and you can go for it. Only donŽt 4get to buy a 6pack of Pilsener Urguell before. Joe doesnŽt drink American beer since he visited me here Think actually heŽs in nursing home recovering from his health problems but according my last news he is getting better and better. And just to confirm the world is small- he landed few miles away from my born town on his parachute 65 years ago... Should you get a book http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...4-a-19602.html ('Mighty by Sacrifice' - a new book about the loss of 20th Sqdn on Aug 29,1944) you would learn a lot about him.

| Senior Member | Hi Harrison, I got your package today! Thx a million man! My son was very happy when he saw what fell out of the package IŽm wondering why this package was for too long on its way. You sent it out on Sept 1 and I got it today...think they sent it thru Australia...usually I get a package from USA in 8-10 days... Btw, my friend Joe should be back at home this week. IŽll let you know as soon as he starts to yell at his wife again THX again!!!!!!!!!!
