Battle of Leyte Gulf: October 23–26, 1944 | Fold3 BlogFold3 Blog

https://blog.fold3.com/battle-of-leyte-gulf-october-23-26-1944/#comments

Hello dear family, greetings from the ranch! Couple of days lull and prep before non stop action: travel to Tucson, then Kansas, back to Tucson, then pick up a good friend and head down to the San Rafael Valley for Los Charros.
And, speaking of action, I've forwarded this link. 72 years ago this month this WW II battle took place, one in which Dad was heavily involved. This is from Fold3, a part of Ancestry.com, and is a very good account and summary. The other link is that of Comments, and there are many very interesting comments from survivors and relatives, sons and daughters. If you have time and have some interest...Dad referenced the anniversary of that battle many times, but only briefly.
Love you all,
Dad/UR

D.C.

Before I close this particular chapter...my new plane (s)!   I wish!.

Wash DC

Did a real nice tour at night. Beautiful, excellent guide.
Guess these are self explanatory...
Wish that lame quarterback from the 49ers would post a visit. He might choose a different venue/method.
Good trip to D.C. for sure.
Love to all,
Dad, UR

Wash DC

Almost as nice as the Topeka Capitol building!

Update

Greetings from Wash DC;
We are in fact having a really fun time; visited the national mall yesterday with all those monuments, today and tomorrow the Smithsonium museums.
And speaking of unusual crowds, what us it with us?? Last January in Whistler it was Canada's gay pride week...today is the "grand"  opening of the black history museum w obama and G Bush among others opening things up. Great.

Winter Park Big Condo - from Erica

Hi Family & Friends,

Sending out to you all for "first dibs" before offering it to management to rent out...

Gma/Boo's WP big condo is available Sat., 10/1 - Sat., 10/8. Most of you know, it's a 2-bedroom with loft and 3-bath unit. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Just $275 for a whole week of lodging and fun in CO. Not looking to profit ;-) but rather recover the HOA and cleaning fee.

Let me know if interested. I was going to talk to them on Monday if no takers.

Love,
Erica
