Thanks,
I was lucky, I had the # 3 slot. Jim Thursby was tail end charlie.
We did get a few breaks, when Keith was changing film in the cameras, and when
he had each of us, join up, one at a time for individual pictures.
I didn't realize how tired I was until we broke formation and headed back to
Lakeland. But given the opportunity I would be first in line to do it again.
