A great day with Don Burgett
#7

D--it Chuck, no fair making me cry. But I guess I'm a bit emotional this week, so it probably doesn't take much. I don't know what to say back. Duh, I'm speechless. I guess I just do what I love and if it shows, all the better.

 

This project for my dad has been a life long obssession. That I was able to get this far is beyong my wildest dreams. That I was able to meet all you here is also an honor. My husband is blown away with all the folks I've met and the info I've aquired. He tells his friends and family, you won't believe what my wife has done this year and what people are willing to tell her and share with her. As "Papa" says, "I dunno!" I just do what I do. Shucks.

 

I guess the only thing I can tell you and everyone is if you take on something, take it on with all your heart. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The old adage still rings true.

 

Okay my chance to say THANKS TO ALL OF YOU who are reading this. I am happy that you are here, more than I can say. You are all now part of my new family. Dad would just love it. He was a PEOPLE person (mon Dieu) to say the least. So I guess I got that gene from him.

 

I just try to go like a bat out of hell because I realize my time is running out to get all these stories. All you great guys (and gals) from WWII are getting older, so I run around like a chicken with her head cut-off to get all I can today. How I wish I had this opportunity years ago, but of course it wasn't there. I LOVE THE INTERNET.

 

Oh, look you got me started. Gotta run. Lots to do today. Love ya bunches. :heartpump:
