...herrmesser and I did-it was still there last year....but this time we went past that area and I didnt notice if they still had that area up...we went purusing other sections that we havent spent as much time in previously-and Reinhard was THE photographer so we just kinda meandered where he wanted to take pics...we are close enough we can visit any time we wish...but everytime we go we see things we missed before,so its never old,stale ,or boring...in fact they had to evacuate the place right when we started eating lunch in the cafeteria for some unknown unreported reason...false fire alarm???...terrorist threat???....dunno....but suddenly there were armed security screening us coming back in....another interesting twist to the great trip... ....you are really gonna have to meet up with us at some point ya know... |

lol, it was an interesting lunch break, that's for sure .. I think what's great is that every bit of the food on the cafeteria table that we abandoned when we had to leave the building was still right there when we got back. And it was still kinda warm .. no problemo whatsoever for herr bachelor here .. I chowed down, and it was good ... still somewhat warm fries, a cheeseburger, and ultimately, my cola beverage with a couple 'o nice fresh refills |

My long time friend and former neighbor, Mr D, was the head mess cook that served both the crews breakfast before both missions on Tinian. He said everything was "Hush Hush" until they got back from Hiroshima. He actually told me he got to see the second unit before it was loaded. Said it cost him a steak. |
