Mt father was not the easiest person to live with, but the older I got
the more I appreciated him. I have only been to visit his grave twice.
I would probably go more often but he is buried in in a war graves
cemetery in Denmark.
I am currently sitting here waiting for a phone call from a woman in the
UK. She is the niece of Dad's pilot. He and the other crew members were
killed when their plan was shot down in April 1943. Seventy eight years
ago today he was wandering across Sjaelland hoping to find a way over to
neutral Sweden.
