Looks like a great event, but two “OMG’s” in the pics:
Ronnie & Susie Talkington’s FC170 DRW is stunning (truly gorgeous),
…and better still:
Jim “Pee Wee” Martin sporting an Operation Market Garden shirt and 101st Airborne hat: WOW… I wish I could have been there just to meet him 🙂
If you’d like more information about my dad, you can Google Jim “PeeWee” Martin. He has thousands of entries on Google. Last year on the 70th anniversary of D-day, he was featured on CBS News on Monday night, and again on Thursday, when he made another jump at age 93 at the D-Day reenactment. When asked why he did it, he said, “Because I can!” He still drives at age 94…a 4 wheel drive, standard shift pick-up and cuts his own firewood for the winter.
Darn,meeting your dad would have been another good reason to come to your event.I remember him being on tv.My hat goes off to all veterans.Life just got in the way of me being able to make your event.
