John, you crack me up! This was a great way to begin my day. The words below are from John McAuliffe. Note the wine glasses on the table.

John Bowen just emailed his sentiments:
"The caption of this photo should be: Let Sleeping Dogs (dogfaces) lie."
Bowen, that was a good one!
Three images sent to me by our very own Rocky! Go squirrel!

Rocky, you are one handsome devil!!
I love the flamingos on top of the tree in the photo on the far left!
Here's the latest from our fellow board member and WWII veteran, Jim Davis. There is also an article to read regarding this trip to Europe.

Thanks for the kind words. A lot of people thought it insane to let an 85 year old wander around Europe by himself. But I did it and made it.
Here is a look and some pictures.
Aloha,
Jim

Hello Jim; Very nice article above. You was in the sameplace I was only different
localities and DIFFERENT JOBs. The cause was the same. I left Italy Sept.'45
on points. I guess you have read, I was in the 1st Bn. 135th Inf Regt. 34th div.
We both,(you and I}, had jobs to do and we did them well. Rocky

M-1 Thank you for posting this pic, I wish I could have
taken a pic of the bike riders that were there. Over fifty
motorcyles all lined up. The Marines gave us,(G.I.Forum)
a very nice welcome. One had enough strengh to put
his arm on my shoulder. rocky--
thanks again--
"Mr. Squirrel",
You ARE a handsome devil. We should just put you on TV selling anti-aging products and the money would start rollin' in!
Mr. Davis is another one. Yikes! I get nervous now if I have to drive into Boston by myself, I can't imagine traveling around Europe at 85.
