last Wednesday I went to the American museum of science and engineering (A.M.S.E.) and saw a full scale replica of little boy, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima along with the works of Albert Einstein and other physicists of that time. What amazed me is the size of the houses (24'x24') that adds up to 48 sq ft, but other than that everything was provided for.

I recently heard a legend that I want to tell you. I call it The Legend Of The Spirit Grandfather.
once there was a battle during the civil war and the confederacy lost. After the battle groups of confederate soldiers were spread out and went everywhere. One group went east and came to a dairy farm and the farmers first name is unknown to me but his last name was Stampton. or something like that. they stayed for 2 nights and moved on or the union horsemen would kill them.so they ran to Chiwhowee mountain.and they camped for a few weeks and one of them said "if things go on like this for a few weeks we could go home to our wives and kids and farms. the cicadas were screaming and the stopped and they heard a woosh woosh woosh and they remembered a legend that the farmers wife told them.
what is the legend? will they survive? what will happen next? look on next week for an answer.

the fighter pilot (part 4)
but his troubles were far from over. As soon as the truck got moving 3 Nazi me 226's flew over them and dropped a bomb on the rescue boat and sank it. luckily the crew, captain and other passengers were off the ship the truck sped off at full speed but the me 226's flew off. probably back to hitler said the anti-aircraft gunner named john. Phew. said everyone else. the rest of the way was uneventful the next day he was back in the skies a milk run said Christain. after the raid. but that was only for him john witnessed 2 bombers and 10 fighters go down and only 1 man made it to the ground alive. he shot down 6 Nazi fighters that day. they were flying over Pilsen that day. and what an adventure. he said over the intercom. I wish I was over there. said christain.

the fighter pilot (part 3)
Saved! or so we think as the rescue boat sailed home a German U-boat secretly sailed undetected under the water and prepared to launch a torpedo the rescue boat detected the U-boat and launched depth charges and sunk the U-boat. YAY!!! When they reached the harbor John shot off the boat and to the truck that was to carry him to the air base.

the fighter pilot ( part 2)
Last we heard of our pilot his plane was smoking. Now we will find out what happens to our hero. "I'll have to fall back, my main guns are disabled". " I'll go with you", my guns are fully operational. "thanks Christian, I mean it". Christian Voultrum was another pilot with the eighth air force operating from England and Johns best friend. As they got closer to England Johns plane lost altitude and crash landed in the English channel he told Christian to go to the base and get help. As the silver P-51 Mustang flew on into the sky Johns war torn P5-1 mustang sank into the water as john watched from the inflatable raft. The next night a rescue boat came to his rescue and he shot up a huge red flare. a friendly English voice called. "Is that you?" "yes!" John called. He was saved.
