THURSDAY - 8/06/09.
Today, I bid adieu to my visitors, Bill and John. They were returning to their homes in Austin. They arrived Tuesday afternoon, so it was a quick turn around. The two are screenplay writers, and were here to interview me about what I remembered about our crash landing of our B-17. They will base their story around this theme. Hopefully, it will also end up as a movie.
I trust that I was helpful, at least enough to justify their trip. Surprising, how much I did remember. But, more surprising. was how much that I couldn’t remember. But, heck, that event happened more than 66 years ago!
I enjoyed meeting both of them. I was impressed with their backgrounds, and their accomplishments. What I didn’t anticipate, was the big void I was experiencing after they drove away. While talking with them, I was also surprised at the emotion I was experiencing, while dredging up my memories of long ago. I was missing this “rush”, I guess.
