| Here I am posing in front of a certain English Gentleman's plane. The tea-sipper is standing to my right, touching my shoulder without permission! To my left is the very recognizable Franklin D. Roosevelt. This photo-still was captured just hours before Frankie and I took the skies--an event that left my good friend with Polio. He was struck in the leg by a Hun firing a "Polio Bullet." That Kraut got his payment for that; a plane and chest full of lead courtesy of Walter C. Johnson III! Despite this, the war was good to Frankie and I. Our friendship grew and stayed strong during our stay in France and lasted until the day he passed on. What a Gentleman! |
