[303rd-Talk] Bob Hand

[Bob Van Pelt]

Nyela:  I only knew you husband from conversations on the internet, but he was a very special man.  Out of the kindnest of his heart, he sent me his Last Raid.  Later he sent me several of his drawings and he had a real gift.  He even offered to paint an A-2 jacket for me, even though he had Parkinson's at the time and the two of us had never met.

His drawings from the war and all of his kind words to total stangers will endear him to us all forever.
Bob Van Pelt
