God damn it all to hell and back I miss my old man. He joined the Army Air Corps and was stationed in Brazil. He flew in B25s on weather missions across the Atlantic to North Africa.
After the war he worked for the weather service which morphed into NOAA.
He had satellite images transmitted on Alden fax machines of the naval buildup around Cuba during the missile crises. The FBI interviewed him- ur uh threatened him on national security grounds.
He met my mom at Homestead air base in south FLA. my maternal side. all fought in WW2 as well.
It seemed everyone contributed a little. It was clear who was right and who was wrong. Those distinctions are less clear these days
