In stopping off in the DC area we were reminded of the only thing that makes us second guess our decision to move-- the good friends we left behind. Impossible to replace decades-long friendships.

John LovaasWhat is Tuskegee area like? Has anyone written the story of the airmen after the war?
ViajeroThere are apparently two Tuskegees. One primarily African American around the institute and a mostly white town of Tuskegee a few miles away which we did not visit. Economic status hard to gauge. Plenty of books on Tuskegee airmen. They sparked integration of the military by Truman.
John LovaasI meant what became of them as individuals after their wartime experience.
