janice6 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Explanation: My father had two apartment houses. From when I was old enough to wield a paintbrush and climb up a 40 foot ladder, I painted those damn things...…….. Never more! Quoth the Raven.

In The Old Guard, our parade field was Summerall Field. It is the site of the first flight by the military of a Wright Brothers aircraft. Of any aircraft. The aircraft crashed. The flight and crash took place in 1908. Orville wright was seriously injured and the Army Lieutenant that went up, Lt Thomas Selfridge, was killed. It was the first death of someone in a heavier-than-air aircraft crash. My barracks was right across the street from the crash site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wright brother that went up (I forget which) was seriously injured and the Army Lieutenant that went up with him was killed. My barracks was right across the street from the crash site. That's quite an honor, in both cases ( being a member of the Old Guard and the site). I was awed to find my hotel in San Antonio right across the street from the Alamo. History is impressive when you can touch, feel, and see it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
