Anniversary of Trip to France

One year ago, we took a trip to France to participate in many celebrations commemorating an incident where two airmen (my husbands uncle James Scott and Gerand Allen, crashed into each other over the small village of Connerre in 1945 during WWII. After listening to the eyewitness accounts it sounded as though Scott was fired upon and injured or killed causing him to send his plane straight up clipping Allens plane. They were flying air missions to prevent the Natzis from transporting men and artillery to Normany. Scott was killed but Allen parachuted out and was rescued b the terrified villagers who helped him get to the French Resistance unit hidden in the woods until the American soldiers came through. The village of Connerre wanted to thank the families of these two brave men for helping to save them from the Natzis. It was a fantastic experience and among all the friends we made were the sister and son of Allen who it turns out live only 30 minutes away.

We got together for an anniversary party and here we are: Doug, John, Katherine, Me and Elle.
