09 Nov 2003 In remembrance of Bard Davenport, who paid the ultimate price. My uncle was Bard's co-pilot on the mission in which they were lost. We don't know what their final thoughts were, but men who die together are forever linked. HERE DEAD LIE WE Here dead lie we because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young. - A. E. Housman - From one who remembers, Fritz Miller overfork@cableone.net

 

27 Jan 2004 Lovingly remembered and missed by his mother, Delcena Welch, and his sister, Karen Ann (Davenport) McNaught. His memory lives on through his family and friends. mooseloons@comcast.net
