If you have read the other parts of my story you would know or at least surmise that I have, or at least I say I have, a fantastic memory.  My high school song started like this "Our strong band can ne'er the broken, formed in Stuyvesant High". In much the same way the friends I have met through the Internet ( all airborne ) will remain with me as such to my last days.  All have been merely faces and names on a monitor.   However, the airborne bond is like "Crazy Glue" one drop holds a lot. One day while surfing I came upon Paratroopers of the '50s, and I've been hooked ever since. How fitting it would be to let you meet as I did, some of my cyber friends.
