Had a nice visit with George Barry's mother in Quincy Mass. With me were Bob and Willa Hamilton of Louisville, KY. and Dan O'Brien of East Falmouth, Mass. I'm sure you remember the story. Mrs. Barry is doing well at 83 and provided us with a great lunch and hearty discussion. Andy, (second from left) and a couple of flight school classmates visit with George's Mom in 2001.

Flight,

In GB2 you will notice another presentation on her living room wall. It's of a rubbing of George's name from the Wall the three of us gave to her 3 years ago.

Frank Boback, U.S. Army, 72–74. I thought I’d pass along a photo of George Barry’s grave to you. I placed a Christmas basket on his grave on Christmas Day. The basket looked much better than it appears in the photo.

I visit George’s grave every time I visit my relatives’ graves.

His is about two miles away at a different cemetery.

I place flowers or plants on them during the holidays.
My best to you and the Lancers.
