Jon, I visited the Abbe and asked a similar question to our French host. He simply replied "He was a Nazi". I think I would let him share in the terminal effects of an explosive train...

I had a short chat with him in Winnipeg when I was a young lad, and he was gracious enough to sign something for me. Yes, a pint with him would have been alright. Just going thru all of my old slides and I came across this pic I took of him. Is that his first wife with him? Cheers Rob

I think the minds of Barnes Wallis and Mr Bailey of the bridge fame are the types of fascinating engineering types with whom I would like most to have spoken.

Guy Gibson or Bernard Montgomery would be interesting to meet.

For that matter, General Eisenhower would be in with a chance also.

Most of all, I would give anything to have my Father back again.
