WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 9, 2024
Please remember in your prayers Mr. Fred Piper. Fred is a 94 year old WWII Veteran. He flew 36 missions as a ball gunner for B-17’s of the Army 8th Air Force. He was to have been our speaker. Fred was at our luncheon, and as a result, he was on an Honor Flight in September. He still talks about both. I got worried when I called him to inform him of our cancellation. His voice mailbox was full. Finally he called me yesterday afternoon. He had been hospitalized for 7 days with viral pneumonia, not Corona virus. It “knocked me on my butt.” Fred is home now in quarantine to be sure he did not pick up anything else while hospitalized. He said he is weak, but I have to say he sounded like his usual self. He feels badly that he won’t give his talk this month, but he definitely wants to re-schedule when things get back to normal. I am not sure when we will be able to hold our next meeting, but I will work with Tim to get Fred at the podium. Best regards and stay well. Jim Cates, President, Prescott SAR
