T4 CELEBR ATIONS ! >af\l`]Dgn]g^QgmjDa^] MY TURN By TOM DALEY It seems like yesterday. But, some 70 years ago, we young boys were a nine-man crew aboard a B-17 “Flying Fortress,” flying bombing missions over Germany. Our crew arrived in England on Feb. 3, 1945, after one and a half years of training. There were all kinds of B-17 bases in England and we landed at a little town called Kimbolten. after we arrived, we flew training missions around England for several weeks. On Feb. 26, 1945, we were awakened at 3:30 a.m. to get ready for a bombing mission. We dressed, washed up, ate, and went to the briefing. That’s where they advise you about the mission and where you will be bombing. Our mission was Berlin, the most dangerous target. I can’t believe this was our first mission. I firmly believed that I would not see my 20th birthday. after much preparation, we finally got Happy Birthday to All This week’s celebrity birthdays include: Sunday: actor Charlie Robinson (“Night Court”) is 69. actor Robert david Hall (“CsI”) is 66. actor Lou Ferrigno (“The Incredible Hulk”) is 63. drummer dee Plakas of L7 is 54.

THE COURIER TUEsday, NOVEMBER 11, 2014 Yll`]@meYf]Kg[a]lqg^@Yf[g[c;gmflq airborne. There were 1,200 bombers to plaster Berlin. Once we got above 14,000 feet, we had to go on oxygen, and when we reached 32,000 feet, we turned on our electric suits, as it was 60 below zero. My position was the top turret with twin .50-caliber guns. The B-17 had four positions with twin .50s. after we flew for several hours, we got near the target and started our bombing run. The anti-aircraft fire, flak, started and the sky was thick with bursting shells. In my position, every minute or so, I could see a bomber get hit and explode, or a plane would go into a spin downward, and no chance for the crew to bail out. We dropped our bombs and turned toward England. What a feeling it was to see the English Channel and be landing after 10 hours in the air. This was a typical bombing mission and we were very lucky to get back alive. We did not know we were to fly 18 more missions to the war’s end, May 8, 1945. I was 19 and the oldest was 22. The Eighth air Force and allied ground forces were mainly responsible for shortening the war. The Eighth bombed and destroyed every large city in Germany. We suffered many casualties: 30,000 men killed, 14,000 men wounded, 33,000 POWs. about 135,000 men flew with the Eighth. We lost over 2,000 B-17s. at present, there are 11 B-17s flying. It makes you wonder how so many were lost, but our crew made it 19 missions. God must have had plans for us. Out of the nine crew members, there are two of us left, both of us 90 years of age. Our ball-turret gunner kept an accurate record of our missions and he wrote a book titled “The War in Blue.” I have a copy and, if anyone would like to borrow it to read, call me at 419422-4561.

Lost parrot returns after 4 years having learned a new language TORRaNCE, Calif. (aP) — a pet parrot that spoke with a British accent when it disappeared from its home four years ago has been reunited with its owner, and the bird now speaks spanish. The reunion was brought about by a southern California veterinarian who mistook Nigel, an african grey parrot, for her own missing bird, the daily Breeze reported. Teresa Micco tracked Nigel’s microchip to darren Chick, a Brit who lives in Torrance. “I introduced myself and said, �Have you lost a bird?’” Micco told the newspaper. “He initially said, �No.’ But he thought I meant recently.” When she verified Chick’s name and said she had his african grey parrot, “He looked at me like I was crazy.” He said his bird went missing four years earlier. Little is known about Nigel’s whereabouts the past four years, but Chick says the bird’s British accent is gone, and it now chatters in spanish. Chick says last week’s reunion brought tears of joy to his eyes, despite the fact that Nigel bit him when he first tried to pick him up. Micco said the behavior was not unusual and that Nigel would settle back in soon enough. “He’s doing perfect,” Chick told the newspaper. “It’s really weird. I knew it was him from the minute I saw him.” It’s the fifth parrot reunion facilitated by Micco, who has been running ads for her own missing bird for nine months. That parrot, Benjamin, flew the coop in February when it darted out a door that was left open. Julissa sperling found Nigel outside her home and brought him to Micco after seeing one of her ads. But first, she took Nigel to her doggrooming business. “He was the happiest bird. He was singing and talking without control,” sperling said. “He was barking like the dogs. I’m from Panama and he was saying, �What happened?’ in spanish.” Woman Coin flip looking for determines bar finds mayor police station PaW PaW, Mich. (aP) — One is a building with bars. The other is a building with a bar. a very drunk woman apparently had trouble telling them apart and ended up in a southwestern Michigan jail cell. The Van Buren County sheriff’s department says a 39-year-old woman mistook the Van Buren County jail for the bar where she was trying to pick up her boyfriend. The department says deputy Robert Miersma spotted the Hartford-area woman backing into the jail parking lot in Paw Paw, and noticed she smelled of alcohol and appeared intoxicated. It says a breath test showed her with more than twice the 0.08 percent blood alcohol considered drunk in Michigan. she’s expected to face drunken driving charges.

AP reports Lincoln re-elected EDITOR’S NOTE: This series celebrating our heritage during the 150th anniversary of the Civil War draws primarily from wartime dispatches credited to The Associated Press or other accounts distributed through the AP and other historical sources. Union states patiently awaited final ratification this week of President abraham Lincoln’s re-election 150 years ago in the Civil War. The New york Hearld, a day after the voting concluded in November 1864, trumpeted: “The Result of the Great National Contest. aBRaHaM LINCOLN RE-ELECTEd PREsI- dENT.” The newspaper reported voting proceeded calmly despite rain in many Union states and that based on early vote tallies, Lincoln’s re-election was at hand. The associated Press reported Lincoln was serenaded by well-wishers from Pennsylvania a day after the vote, delivering a speech from a window stating he had worked “for the best interests of the country and the world, not only for the present, but for all future ages.” He added that he would abide by the outcome once it had been duly ratified. 7KH+ROLGD\6HDVRQLV MXVWDURXQGWKHFRUQHU ‹…‡”‘›ƒŽŽƒ–Š‘–œ›ǯ•ƒ”ƒ† ”‹ŽŽ‡ ‹•–Š‡’‡”ˆ‡…–’Žƒ…‡–‘Š‘•–›‘—” Šƒ••Ž‡Ǧˆ”‡‡„—•‹‡••‘”’‡”•‘ƒŽ Š‘Ž‹†ƒ›‡�‡–Ǥ ‹–Š‰‘—”‡–‡—•ƒ†‡ƒ•›Ǧ–‘Ǧ„—‹Ž††‹‡” ’ƒ…ƒ‰‡•ˆ‘”‡�‡”›’”‹…‡’‘‹–ǡ™‡ǯŽŽŠ‡Ž’›‘— …Š‡…‘‡–Š‹‰‘ơ›‘—”Ž‹•–ǡ–Š‹•›‡ƒ”Ǩ ‡–…‘’‡–‹–‹�‡’”‹…‹‰ƒ†‹’‡……ƒ„Ž‡•‡”�‹…‡ „‡‘—”‰‹ˆ––‘›‘—–Š‹•Š‘Ž‹†ƒ›•‡ƒ•‘Ǥ &DOORXUHYHQWFRRUGLQDWRUDW 6KRW]\·V%DUDQG*ULOOHGIRUDYDLODELOLW\WRGD\ ͕͔͗Ǥƒ†—•›�‡ǤȈ’’‡”ƒ†—•› �͕͝Ǥ͕͛͗Ǥ�͔͔͗Ȁ™™™Ǥ•Š‘–œ›•Ǥ‡– CELEBR ATIONS ! THE COURIER TUEsday, NOVEMBER 11, 2014 Poetry Corner Raking Leaves Raking leaves comes with fall some people really think it’s a ball. Kids love to jump in a big heap They just run and jump and take a leap. Leaves will make some mulch for you To put around a plant that’s new, Mulch protects the plants and trees That are visited by the cool breeze Leaves may be bagged for insulation To keep out cold from the foundation There are many ways that you may use This gift of beauty God sent you. People press them in a book and when they’re dry they take a look. Colored with orange and gold and red The ground looks like a quilt on a bed. While you are raking leaves in the yard and dreading the job you think so hard, Look at the leaves and the colors they show Watch as the wind makes them blow God made them colorful and bright and gave them beauty just for our sight. so don’t be a complainer while you take Pile after pile out with your rake. Sue Gratz, Leipsic The Seasons spring Flowers peeping from the ground The snow has disappeared The trees are filling up with leaves It’s my favorite time of year summer I stop and touch a flower Pluck it gently from the ground I stop and take in all the warmth and the beauty all around Fall summer time is over and fall has now appeared The colored leaves are falling I love this time of year Winter Winter is upon us and soon the snow will fall Only thing I like about winter Is I get to watch football Guana Morehart, Findlay A Thank You To My Heroes Veterans and active duty military women and men Each and every one is a HERO to me — for The dangers they face and sacrifices they make — as Each serves voluntarily to keep america free.
