Living History

[loubob608]

My son, Ryan, and Lt. Col. Richard Cole at the Randolph AFB Air Show. Lt. Col. Cole was sitting next to Jimmy Doolittle in the right seat of the first B-25 that took off from the deck of the USS Hornet enroute to Tokyo in 1942. He's in his 90's now but can still hang out at the air show all day, taking pictures and signing autographs. I get chills everytime I look at this picture.
