[Dixielandjazz] The Audience

[pj.ladd]

I volunteer on board the USS MIDWAY, an aircraft carrier museum in San 
Diego. >>

Hi Ed,
I went round her a couple of years ago when I was on holiday. A great 
experience made more interesting by the volunteers telling `There I was..` 
stories.

I was amazed at the dumb questions asked  by some of the visitors. Not by 
kids but by  people of an age who ought to know better. About a week later I 
was looking round  a B-17 in a museum at Palm Springs.  I was talking to the 
Vet. on duty about the Schweinfurt raid when a visitor broke in and , 
fingering the aluminium skin said,  "Is that all you had to keep the bullets 
out".?. I caught the Vets eye. I thought he would explode.

Keep up the good work

Cheers

Pat
