last event of the day was a visit to the museum itself. as you can see its quite small. there are plans to add on or move to a larger place. its too bad they didnt start this idea 20 years ago when most of the Boys were alive. they would have had more items donated. it would have been nice to have a better showing from the Boys....maybe Yeager or Bud Anderson and teh others. but as you look at the men who did show it is apparent they arent young bucks any more. many had health issues that prevented them from making the trip....many have passed. the gathering of eagles gets smaller with each passing day...
