New member from Indiana
Hello and thanks for a good website.
I have been a collector slash living historian for over 15 years. I have made friends with Col. Morgan of the Memphis Belle, Johanna Doolittle General Doolittle's granddaughter and countless soldiers from the era. I started out as a volunteer for the Cincinnati museum center and displayed much of my collection there. My main hobby recently has been to collect stories recently I have been working with the veterans project in Washington. I attend the Reading air show when I can plan to attend this coming year. I will be at Fort Thomas military show for veterans weekend stop by and say hi I will be wearing an airborne uniform from Saving Private Ryan. I chose the 107th because I am a horse person and this is the last of the mounted cavalry units. Can't wait to get out there and meet you all hope to have my picture up today. Cheers, Eric
