His son is a friend of mine. I am lucky enough to have a signed edition of
his last book.
A humble man.

I met him a couple years ago at OSH. It was something i had wanted to
do for a long time. I shook his hand and thanked him for what he had
done, explaining that i was born in 1948. Had he not dropped the bomb
my dad could have been one of the thousands of expected casualties of
the invasion and i wouldn't be here.
His passing is not receiving the honor and attention it should because
today's PC crowd is embarrassed by those bombings.
My memory of those who survived the war is clear: their only regret was
that we only had two bombs.
