[StartQuote] In 1963 I was only 6 years of age, so I never saw the movie at the Movie House. In 1967, the movie came to the world of Television, and my Dad told me to watch it. I can remember saying to him "What is a PT BOAT", can you imagine me saying that? Like Drew, I never left the screen, and watched it in awe. Right after the movie finished, I went into my Dad's bedroom and asked him to buy me a PT BOAT. He said to forget that, but flipped me .50 cents, and I went down to ZAYRE Department Store, where I found the 1/72 Revell Kit on the shelf. I think it was on sale for .35 cents, Brother I ran home and slapped it together, no paint of course, and that boat sat on my desk for the longest time. Little did I ever think as that 10 year old Kid that I would meet and become friends with some of that original PT-109 Crew, or accomplish the things that I have with my Exhibits. That was 46 years ago, and the passion for that movie and the boats still runs deep. I think in 1963 Will was something like 30, lol........... [EndQuote]
