Just a line to let all black widows know. Aircraft 155 (Smokie) from LZ Sally is on display in Arcade New York at the VFW. Original crew Kjell Tollefsen, Ron Piecuch, and Ted Alley are meeting there September 17th for a day of visiting and reminiscing. Not anything special planned, just a day to share with our brothers. If you would like to drop by call 903-253-1464 to let us get a head count for dinner. Ted Alley (Crew Chief Smokie)
