What a tragic story...I'm sure nobody expected anything like this when browsing the OB today, but I am glad I clicked it. Kind of a nice way of remembering those that perished in the crash. Thanks for posting AC

Another unexpected gem from the OB.


Anybody know anyone in Hollywood? Sure would like to see "Buzz One Four" at the theater.

I got it off a local guy here who made it. Only charged me $35 for it. It's perfect for brookies.

By the way, I stopped in the credit union the other day and they just happened to have a couple of 1976 bicentennial Eisenhower silver dollars. It's not '44, but I was born in '76 so I pulled the trigger on those. I will leave one when I am able to make a return trip. I will take pictures and post back here and bump this thread. It will probably be into April before the weather breaks and we get some decent weather.

It's winter again here now.

FYI, "Buzz One Four" is a new documentary on Amazon Prime. Just watched it.

And I haven't been back yet, but I've still got the silver dollars and will make a return visit in the spring.

Cool story and a great way to spend the day
So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced. It removes force from the equation... and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

I did a little google research and it appears that silver dollars were not minted in 1944. I wonder if it was actually a half dollar? If so, there are many available on Ebay and I would be happy to buy one and send it to you to place there, if we can find out that this is what he actually carried.

Entirely possible. I will be making a return trip this spring if you wanted to do that.

Have followed the thread and just watched the documentary. Incredible story, great original post. Look forward to seeing a silver dollar on the marker and a few new fish pics. Well done, best internet thread I have ever read.
