I made it back from the East Coast in one piece. What I found in my Aunt's
house was a surprise. (she passed away) My Uncle Mike Brignole (famous
delicatessen in NYC) was in the Army Air Corps in WWII. I was never aware of
his activities until going through his belongings. I found many photos of
WWII vehicles and aircraft. A good shot of the French General LeClerc in a
Dodge named "MULHOUSE" on the hood. Dated 14 July 1945 in Paris. Lots of
good photos of parades in Paris with US vehicles. Pictures of a Army tent
set up under the Eiffel tower. Picture of a crashed German fighter in
England. All in all, a very good collection of WWII military goodies. Also
his 7X50 binoculars and a lot of stuff from a guy named Armand Hammer. My
uncle grew up with this man. Armand was one of the worlds wealthiest men.
Also a Communist. But a rich one. I am sorry I did not get to visit with the
folks I said I would. BUT.....it was not fun back there. I could not wait to
get out of NYC. Also---on Interstate 70 in Missouri, there was a yard full
of military vehicles. Who is that???? And in Stroudsburg, PA I saw a Sherman
Tank and a bunch of other MV's. Who is that??? See ya, 1SG PANTANO
