Friday, April 28, 2006. The boys are off from school for Drake Relays day today. At lunchtime Dan plays in a little jazz ensemble with his jazz band teachers and two of his friends from school for a lunch meeting of the Des Moines Rotary clubs. I'm sure he'll rock the house. I probably won't be able to see it, but I'm hoping Vickie can get pictures. Posted by Joe at 6:29 AM. Tuesday, April 25, 2006. For reasons unknown, Mr. Mallard paid a visit to the schoolyard behind our house last week. We have a lot ...

50265: 71 years
http://50265.blogspot.com/2015/07/71-years.html
Sunday, July 05, 2015. Dad's B-24 crashed just off the beach at Argentella, Corsica, France, on the way back from a bombing run over Toulon 71 years ago today. Dad and three others survived out of the ten-man crew. Dad's survival was due to a rescue by David Korkuc, the tail gunner, who pulled him from the wreckage before it sank. I'm glad Dad got so many bonus years. I wonder how often he thought of his crewmates who didn't make it. Link: 42-78127.blogspot.com. Which has my research on Dad's last mission.
