I was retired from the News Journal Company, Delaware's only newspaper. I was in their employ for 44 years, and retired as Plant Engineer.
I lived in Oscoda, MI, with my daughter and son-in-law. I spent my time doing oil paintings for family and friends, reading, and enjoying the good life.
I was Secretary/Newsletter Editor for the B.A.D. 2 Association for over 30 years, which was formed to perpetuate the memory of those who served at Base Air Depot 2 in Lancashire England, during WWII. BAD2 was a modification and repair depot, which worked on B-24s and P-51s. The site today is the home of British Aerospace, with whom our Association has a close rapport.
