This past July, I was able to fulfill dream and vi This past July, I was able to fulfill dream and visit the Netherlands American Cemetery near Margraten, Netherlands. I don’t know anyone or have a family member who is buried there. My only connection is through a story I first learned of in 2016 about a young Dutch boy who adopted PFC James E Wickline’s grave when he was thirteen years old in 2002. For more than a decade this boy was curious and full of wonder (and respect and awe, too) about this soldier and his life which ended on this day in 1944. Wickline was 21 when he died parachuting into the Netherlands in Operation Market Garden.

Thinking of my step-mother this morning.... we passed Aberfan on our way to Swansea this past summer. I recall talking with her about the disaster. Aberfan disaster kills 144 people and levels a Welsh mining village #todayinhistory #history #family

In 1989 I lived in the Bay Area. My girlfriend, who’s now my wife, got tickets to game three of the 1989 World Series. I had just gotten off of BART when this happened.
