If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...
When I was much younger and thinner, folks used to say I looked like a young Jimmy Stewart. But now that I'm staring 40 almost in the eye, I think I look more like a younger version of Dean Jagger in "Twelve O'clock High." I can't think of anyone else that is close. Me: Dean Jagger at the...- p51

Uniforms in casual wear
I'd love to have one of those B-10s but can't justify the expense of one as I live in a climate (the Pacific Northwest, in the lowlands) where something that warm wouldn't get much wear. That being said, I have several reproduction A-2s that I wear on fall or winter days (I have originals too... -
WW2 on the PC?
I actually hate video games for the most part. I liked playing them as a kid but I guess I knew so many people who spent hours at a time with games that went on for so long and they'd get wrapped up in them like they were doing whatever it was for real, I just couldn't stand video games. I still... -
Southern Pacific GS-4 # 4449: The largest Art Deco object in motion today?
I swear you can't do anything without backlash in the media these days. Apparently there are some unhappy folks from the runs last weekend: http://wweek.com/editorial/3505/11965/ It's funny how most of the comments from readers are not in support of the lady in question!- p51

Southern Pacific GS-4 # 4449: The largest Art Deco object in motion today?
I went down to Portland over the weekend to watch my second favorite steam engine running, Southern Pacific 4449. A couple of years ago, she was repainted in her original 1941 paint job. http://www.railroadforums.com/photos/showphoto.php/photo/57889/ppuser/4329 Here's a shot of Doyle...- p51

The Arizona and Missouri
My wife and I took a Hawaii cruise in 2003, and I had only one demand that wasn't negotiable, to go to the Arizona memorial. Of all the places I've been, only three places have ever made me feel chills from just standing there; The Alamo; The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam; and the USS Arizona... -
The Photography Of Seimon Pugh Jones
I just ordered a copy of the book and paid a little extra for the air mail shipping option. Amazon doesn't have it at all and I couldn't find any US vendor selling them. Had it not been for that eBay listing mentioning this book, I still wouldn't know about it. As for my own idea for a book, I...- p51

Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?
I've met plenty, but I don't think I have photos of any of them. Off the top of my head I can recall meeting Chuck Heston, Tom Cruise, Anna Nicole Smith (back when she was still the Guess Jeans girl and an amazing beauty), Bruce Willis, Tom Berenger, Martin Sheen (I'm still kicking myself that I...- p51

The Photography Of Seimon Pugh Jones
I just saw a reference to that book off an eBay listing today, had never heard of it before. I found your post on a internet search for info on the title itself. Does it mostly cover US stuff or all nations? How extensive is the WW2 section? I was actually doing some research into writing such a...- p51

World War II Training Manuals?
Oh, no danger of that happening, I collect US WW2 stuff and have two drawers in a dresser filled with TMs and language guides and books like that. I've been meaning to get photos of all his stuff anyway and get it together online. When I do, I'll post the photos here. FYI, I wrote up a... -
World War II Training Manuals?
I have a copy of the "waht you should do if you're captured" booklet which is pretty hard to find, I'm told. Very true. They were called "Escape and Evasion" photos. The Germans who interrogated captured airmen often could indeed tell what unit the guy was in by the tie they wore. They usually... -
Ride the 20th Century Limited, well, sort of…
I saw a recent magazine article with some photos of this car sitting behind an Amtrak train recently in Penn station: http://www.luxuryrailvacation.com/ I must admit that would be incredible to ride a car like this down the Northeast Corridor. These private cars are pretty much the only older RR...- p51

War Of The Worlds Hoax
I once talked with a WW2 vet who'd been in the New Jersey National Guard at the time and was called to duty that evening for riot control. He wasn't listening to the show and had no idea what was going on until he got to the armory. His First SGT told him that there was "some kind of panic" over...- p51

Battle of the Bulge in Pennsylvania
I couldn't say it better myself. I used to go all the time when I lived on the East coast (I'm about 3100 miles away now) and it was worth it for vendors but a event that large, there's always some screwups. One year, I heard a guy griping about the "hurry up and wait" theme of the event, how... -
What do you do for Living?
Gunny Ermey? Nicest guy you'd ever meet. He literally dropped what he was doing (going over his notes on that clipboard) to take a photo with me. I got that picture and one at the tent set later on. In the photo with me in my WW2 HBT cap with my issued Captain's bars, he took one looked and...- p51

Former US Army officer.
