mvmhm Posted November 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 24, 2021 A gent stopped by this morning to drop off a few of his artifacts from his service in ODF '65...including a nice morale patch, his hometown newspaper which features a still photo from a newscast, as well as the script for the news cast. There's also a nice Zippo lighter and a photo of his aircraft - he pointed out that then there were no skis...they used a wire mesh around the tire to slow the plane down instead. He's got a box of color slides to bring in, which we're going to convert to jpgs for him. You'll notice the Zippo has two New Zealand coins attached - they staged from Christchurch.
