Nice group and even better you got to meet the family in person. That makes it special when you are able to get items from them in person. Get to hear the story and know the guy that's cool in my book congrats

Thank you for your comments.

 

For many years I stayed away from the collecting community and spent my time tracking veterans down. I got obsessed with vet finds and their stories.

 

This group is a result of that search.

Some have said I should write a book.

 

I at one time had groupings from over 1000 vets and those were things I kept. I had sold an even greater amount.

 

One thing that helped big time was the fact that I liquidated estates.

 

Another was that I was not afraid to knock on a door or approach a complete stranger.

 

Ask and you shall receive. So endeth the lesson.

 

And everyone said AMEN

Thanks Dave.

 

Do you remember that 193rd Special Ops. group I showed you with all the patches and flying jackets ?

 

It came from a Tom Lowe.

 

I kept these duplicates.

 

This is the son of John Lowe.

 

Very interesting and sad story on how I found out they were related.
