When Chris and I went to the Aviation Center we met a pretty amazing man. In WWII the B-17 planes that were flown in missions over Germany gave the crews on the B-17 a one in three chance of living. We met a guy name Dondger-didn't get his first name, but he made it through-as the pilot on 30 missions! For a man who had a 1/3 chance of living each time sure as heck was a lucky duck! We talked to him for about 30 minutes and he told us all sorts of stories. He sure was cute, and a VERY proud man, and rightfully so. I got a picture with him and gave him a big hug and said thank you, he gave me a kiss on the check! He really made my day =)
