Pat Avery and I attended the MVPA Convention in Little Rock, AR the end of June 2007. We met lots of interesting folks with a variety of stories. This picture is of Pat and I with William McGinley who was shot down over Belgium in World War II and rescued by the Belgian underground. For seven months, he evaded the Germans and during that time the military notified his parents that he was KIA. Throughout it all, his mother prayed for his safe return -- and when he was rescued and sent back to London, he sent her the telegram she'd been waiting to see. "Hi Mom. I'm okay."
