Featured Classic Classmate Stories

There are several classmate stories on this site, below is a list of my favorites. Some of these stories are buried throughout the site and you might not notice them or skip right by them, so below I've made it easy.  

For the next few weeks I'm going down the list and hyperlink each story so as to make it easy to click on.  A couple of weeks ago #1 was available on the site front page, if you haven't read it please do, it's a classic. This week I've highlighted #2, it too is a great story. 

Hope you enjoy all of them in the days to come.

Harold Twing

It’s a Long Way from Thurleigh to Amarillo, Texas

For those who knew Harold Twing at Thurleigh England (see Thurleigh), he was a good B-17 waist gunner and well respected as an air crewman. He could always be counted on in the heat of battle at 25,000 feet. Generations of high school students in Amarillo, Texas knew nothing about Twing‘s World War II exploits. Mr. Twing, as they called him, owned Twing‘s Drive-In near Palo Duro High School on Amarillo’s northside. For many he was a man to be feared. Twing thought nothing of picking up an order of burgers and fries and delivering them himself to the car parked out front. While there, he made sure that everything was on the up and up. If you parked at Twing‘s Drive-In, you would have a great time with your friends and then cruise on into the night down Polk street.

Written by Vernon L. Williams Director, East Anglia Air War Archives Abilene Christian University

Bailed out of his crashing war plane. He ended his tour of duty with a Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters. More

Tribute to Emadene Davidson

A few of us were exchanging emails the other day and came to the realization that we were all collectively impressed with Mrs Davidson so we decided this tribute was in order.







Hello from Salida Colorado


You know you're getting old when you're kids and grandkids are on the slopes (at Monarch) and you (and wife) remain in the cabin putting together a puzzle :)  I feel like I could ski, but common sense says I shouldn't. View of the Arkansas river.

Bobby Nowak Memorabilia

At Bobby's Celebration, I ask Ashton (his son) if I could borrow and scan some of Bobby's memorabilia, he agreed. Bobby's mother must have been very proud of her son because there's quite a collection.
