Here is our friend, Mac McGinty of Boulder, at Silke's house in January. He was a top turret gunner in a B-17, flying over Germany in WWII. Afterwards he was part of the Berlin Airlift, dropping food on the east side of the Berlin wall. He has great stories of how he and the other American Air Force men gave candy and gum to the children in England whose father's were away from them at Christmas.
