John Cooper Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 All, I just thought I would post this because I enjoyed many of his movies but he was a veteran of WW2. I understand that he served in the 11th Air Force as a radio op\gunner on a B-25 in the Aleutian Islands. John Always looking for Wings & Named Air Medals! Motto: To Collect, Preserve, and Remember!

Bugme Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 When Charlton Heston's father-in-law(L.B. Clarke) was still alive, Mr. Heston and his wife Lydia would come to her home town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin(My home town also) and regularly meander about in public. This was all when I was a kid but, I remember it well. He will be missed. "There is no such thing as an expert, only students with different levels of education." Link to post Share on other sites

USMCR79 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I remember reading in his autobiography that during WWII he hated being in Alaska.....mosquitos etc. Years later he narrated an Imax theatre presentation on the natural beauty of Alaska......go figure!
