Oh my God! I am SO SORRY to hear about Mr. Palmer's passing....We had a great email correspondence going about his life, war time career and his book. He was a man, though never met, you feel he appreciated the interest and would do all he could to answer any questions you might have.
Reading his book certainly gives you the idea that you know him a little. Geez, I think I know him better than some of my own uncles!!!
What a sad tiding, Marion. Thanks for sharing this with us. This is the hardest part of our passion; to face the fact that these men do not have eternal life. None of us do, but as we hold all these men very dear, it is even more harder to deal with their passing. I always have a hard time, just like right now. I know it is part of life, but I am not happy with it.
SO sorry to see them go. He will rest in peace and in the knowledge that people care what they did 60 years ago.
