Dear Barb, I suspect that they may have buried the DC3 or whatever plane it was that went down at Bowman. It was carrying some 25 soldiers from, perhaps, Cuba and everyone was killed. I think a bolt broke in the tail section and the plane went straight down from about 600 feet. Others will remember it better than I Tom the bewildered Barb Temple wrote: > Hi, my first message got way too long but after I hit Send, I remembered one > more thing.

Dear Tom, Thanks for the info. It is so sad to hear about that happening at Bowman...or anywhere. That may have been what Dad referred to. I'm not sure and Dad is gone now. I wonder when that happened. Barb T ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas S.
