Received this from my 82nd Airborne buddy, Howard Huebner. I am very proud of you Howard. Way to go boy!
BETTY AND AND I WERE INVITED TO HOUSTON, TEXAS TO GIVE A SPPECH ABOUT D-DAY. THEY FLEW US OVER. IT WAS A ONE NIGHT STAY. ENOUGH OF HOUSTON TOO BIG. WE HAD A GOOD FLIGHT BOTH WAYS. THEY SAID IT WAS THE BIGGEST CROWD THEY HAVE EVER HAD. IT WAS IN AN OLD HOUSE OF YEARS AGO. A BIG ONE - LIVING ROOM ABOUT 40 X 60 FT. WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND I DIDN'T PUT ANYONE TO SLEEP. GOT A STANDING OVATION. I'M STILL ON CRUTCHES AND WHEN A GAL WHEELED ME TO THE PLANE SHE WANTED TO KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING AND I TOLD HER. SHE SAID YOU GOT TO TALK TO THE CAPTAIN, AND HE WAS WAITING FOR ME AND WE CHATTED A BIT. WHILE ON THE TARMACK HE ANOUNCED WE HAVE A CELEBRITY ON BOARD, A PARATROOPER WHO JUMPED INTO NORMANDY AND I GOT A LOUD APPLAUSE. WHAT A TRIP...
