I recall Scott from reading about the CBI theater of war.
It amazes me that other than local news outlets no one mentions it. Perhaps it is too early. I will keep my ears open for it. Thanks for posting the link.
What an amazing life he must have lived. Can you imagine fighting in the China, Burma, and India theater? What sights he must have seen, watching the old world die in the throes of war only to be reborn into the new.
We have all read about the loss of the Library at Alexandria. Each person is a bit like a library, full of the sights they have seen, the people they have met, the character they have built. Then, one morning, it is gone.
I met Gen Scott back in the mid- 70's when I was in High school, he gave an informal talk to a group of aircraft modelers & aviation historians while he was in town to sign some of Bob Carlin's prints.
It was a fascinating couple of hours hearing his experiences.
Absinthe_1900: That is really a gift you got, what stories he must have told,
of China, Burma, and the India theater. I know it happens to all of us, but I hate death and the sadness it brings, I keep the memories alive from those we lost this week.
