LTC Richard Cole, the last survivor of the Doolittle Raiders and Co-Pilot for Col. Jimmy Doolittle, lives in my hometown of Comfort, Texas and I am fortunate to have had the privilege of having lunch with him several times. He was also kind enough to autograph my WC-51 at one of our July 4th parades. This weekend LTC Cole will be honored in Washington as part of our nations Memorial Day celebrations. He is truly a great American and a very gracious man.

He did not get to make it last night, but the did a good piece on him.......

Actually the whole concert was good.

Watch it if it is on demand, I do not know if it will be or not.

I had the honour of meeting and chatting with him last September. What a fine gentleman he is, his spryness definitely belies his 100+ years!

Cheers
