Thank you, Dad.

My father was an 18 year old farm boy from Virginia, freshly graduated from Rocky Mount High School in 1941, when he was drafted into the army air corps during WW II. He was sent to England after basic training. He was stationed in England for 4 years and during that time he learned how to repair air craft engines and was promoted to a staff sergeant. During that time he met an English girl whom he married and sent back to the states as a war bride. I came along 10 years later. For all my father did for his country and for me, I dedicate this page to him. I love you Dad and I really really miss you.
