[StartQuote] Ted, in your post you talk about how our PT VETS are making their final patrols, and this is something that breaks my heart. For instance in 1998 I had 15 PT BOAT VETERANS that donated their time to one of my Exhibits. Today there are only 2 left, one just turning 93, and the other 87. Another good point that you bring up, is the artifacts and other items being discarded. I can't tell you how many items I have saved by purchasing them for my Mosquito Fleet Exhibit. I have to get it in my head that not everyone on the planet loves and has a passion for the boats and men as I do. Some could care less, and I have seen items about to be thrown out because the children of these special men don't care. We need to save these items for future generations, By the way, welcome to the Board and thank you for posting the photos and the intervew. [EndQuote]
