Tanks At The Beach

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
I had my Stuart tank, along with a M18 Hellcat a GPW & M35 on display in Lincoln City, Or. at Chinook Winds Casino for an event honoring Veterans 24-25 Sept. While I was there I met an 87 year old lady, Mary Robb, who worked as a draftsman at Boeing during WWII. (Mary was about 20 at the time) She worked on B-17's. We got to talking and I asked her if she would like to go for a tank ride! She said YES! So we loaded he up behind the turret away we went down hwy. 101 for a few miles. When we were done Mary said,"That was just wonderful and she had the time of her life"!
Enjoy,
Steve

Well done! I know that you enjoy your "Toys", but it is always so nice to see you doing your usual thing, and spreading the smiles around.

It is nice that the custody of some vehicles ends up with the right custodians!

Thanks for sharing!
The stories the vets relate make all the effort worth while to keep these MVs going.
