 When I had lunch the other day with Kristina McMorris,  we talked about WWII (that's World War II to you younger ones) and it  made me think about my folks. Mom and Dad were both in the Army Air Corp. Mom was editor for the camp newspaper  and my dad was the dashing pilot instructor. Back in the early days of the  war the US didn't have enough pilots so every fly boy they recruited  was stationed somewhere to train 18 year olds to fly. Scary, huh?  Anyway, dad was up with one of his students, something went wrong, and  the plane crashed. Dad ended up in the hospital and my mom went to  interview him for the paper. They fell in love. Anyway, Kristina's story  Letters From Home really  brought that home to me in a big way. In fact, it inspired me enough to  set aside some time to do research, so we'll see what happens. In the  meantime, Kristina's book is amazing and I highly recommend it.
