[seesul]

For the first time I am going to leave off my position of silent observer and reader and I am going to add something myself. Roman suggested me to register and join your forum and I do not regret it. It's been so nice to read all your comments. I enjoyed being part of the commemoration events very much and meeting you. It was unforgettable for me too, despite the fact I've been taking part in these commemorations in more than last 15 years. I look forward to meeting you next year again, if not sooner than that. And you are always welcome to stay in our house in Brno.

Finally Jana!
But please, don´t read all my comments or threads on this forum. You would have to change your opinion on me

Kelly, I was on business trip to Slovakia on Friday so stopped at Vyskovec crash site on the way back and in Rudice today. The remembrances came back...

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What a warm welcome. I am happy to become a part of your forum "family".
Roman, no matter what I read, you don´t need to worry I would change my opinion that you are a great person.

Hmm. Can't seem to get it to run, Roman. I got the title on screen, but no sound, and no movie. I'll try again later.

Harry, Russell Meyrick (bombardier) and Joe Marinnello (ball turret gunner) were burried at this cemetery.
Both of them were aboard the same machine as Joe Owsianik (S. Plainfield, NJ).
Joe landed 3 miles away on his chute.
