When I wrote it I mistakenly listed Bill's birth year as 1913. That was the birth year of my dad who died in 2006 also at age 93. I apologize for the misleading information.

That he wou<br />D be going home sooner than I would. he later went to the east in Germany and ironically, me unit was selected to go to the States with the eventual destination being Japan. my unit landed in NY on the second day of July 1945. however, Bill managed to get home in late KJuly. And his wife, Audrey, informed him that I had been home two weeks before him. So we had another reunion in Chicago. Bill was two years older than I so naturally, though out our lifetime, we maintained an exclusively close relationship as dear brothers. I am very upset about his passing and it take some time for me to get over his passing. I loved him dearly and will always miss him. But I know he is in good hands now. - Thomas McLaren Christie, Sr., October 16, 2011Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
