The photo showing Ernie Pyle (renowned reporter for the news paper Stars and Stripes) is while he was with our 323rd group in England. I was not with them there. Berlin Sally mentioned Pyle over her daily broadcasts and said the Luftwaffe was out to get him while he flew with the White Tail Marauders (323rd). It was before my time. Pyle later went to the south Pacific and was killed somehow. While I was on a trip to the French Riviera, Bob Hope and his entourage happened to be there too. He heard about our group being host to Ernie Pyle and invited all of us there on the trip to be his guest for cocktails so that we could talk about it. Well we did and we had a ball for the evening. He picked up the tab.
