Across the Fence

The trip home took us from the islands of Lake Champlain through the middle of the state. We were flying out of Manchester, NH and made a couple of stops along the way.

Waterbury is a town where my mother was raised and where Aunt Becky still lives.

I took these shots just off the interstate.

We also took a detour off the interstate near Sharon and saw this sheep and a nice little brook.

After coming back to the highway near Woodstock we made one last stop at this place:

We made it to Manchester on time and met an interesting gentleman on the flight to Chicago. Eighty-five year young Joseph W. Lovoi was sitting with us. He described getting shot down in Nazi Germany when he was in his early twenties and being a prisoner of war for six months. He has written a book about his experiences: Listen My Children And Stay Free. He has been speaking to young folks about his experience and impressing upon them the value of the freedoms we enjoy. They didn't come without cost.
I've ordered a copy of the book from Amazon.

That's Mr. Lovoi next to the sleeping fisherman.
My typical flying posture.

Seeing that book reminds me to thank you for the one you brought me. Q, should a person who can only load 5 pictures at a time be considering one of those cameras???
