Honor 1st L. Keith S. Callanhan and to all WWII Veterans

I'm honor to my Uncle Keith, who was MIA later presumed dead from WWII, 68 years ago today. He flew 23 mission at Northern Africa and Sicily Campaign and his B-25 bomber plane was shot down.Two out of five survived. I got interesting way back 199o to researched to know more about his Bomb Group. Second I did is to go National Archive at Suitland, Md which moved to new place near University of Maryland. I did called ahead to give information,when I got there to see people had their own table to do researched boxes and boxes. Boy, its going to be days to do research.
Anyway, They told me I can sit there at the empty table. Minuets later I had only one box, I was lucky that found something, its mostly flight sorties From 1942-1945 but I start the day that he was shot down and go backwards. I found micro film there was hand writing of the reports about his plane was shot down near Randazzo, Sicily the villager buried the 3 bodies near the crash site and later the British Army dug them up to try identify the men but no dog tags. Nobody in the family knew it because it was classified and declassified at 1958 which I was born.
I try to follow the trail and founded more info that they had temporally cemetery in Sicily too busy fighting and after war they move to Sicily-Rome American Cemetery, its in Nettuno 30 miles south from Rome. I did get it to go The 12 Bomb Group Reunions back 1991 at Tacoma, WA. for 50th Anniversary. I did interview them and learned allot from the nicest people that I ever met and some of them knew my Uncle. I need to get this done to write from all the notes that I wrote and video. I'm glad that my other Uncle Don (his younger brother) got a chance to go over to visit Rome with his wife and their tour group and take time to go to the cemetery on their own from the tour group,before He passed away 2008. I hope some day that I will follow to visit and do more research to finish the final Chapter.

Its being awhile get into the blog

Vertical Bed Includes Sunglasses To Complete The Pretense That You're Awake

It vaguely reminds me of someone painting eyeballs onto their eyelids to feign wakefulness, but I kinda almost want a Vertical Bed. It's intended to help you catch a few extra zzZZZ's on your daily commute while looking dorky.

Basically the bed fully supports all of your body weight by attaching to subway ventilation grating. And to prove that it works, some poor guy got assigned to the task of taking 40 minute naps in the middle of New York. Since he didn't get mugged or fall over, this could be considered a successful trial.

The Vertical bed comes complete with noise-cancelling headphones, opaque sunglasses, a free standing umbrella, and fits into a suitcase. No idea when we'll be able to buy one, but I'll be wishing I already had it while waiting in line. [Substitute Materials via Design Launches]

Visiting my old two freinds

I used to work for Shelley Langston and George deVincent Photography studio in Georgetown D.C. I did work for them 15 years as a darkroom tech in the 80s and 90s. We had lunch together to catch up the news. I just realize that I ment George and Shelley 31 years ago I just got out high school that summer of 78, to start apprenticeship for 3 months before I start back first year in College. I just took some photos, as you notice if you see that there is townhouse inside the row house in Washington D.C. It came from Arena Stage sets .It took 5 or 6 guys that I was one of the guys helped to put the four pieces put them together and then push right up against the wall, "man that was heavy as hell". I thought it was cool.

A Ballplayer quote

"The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back." - Steve Garvey
