 JM>> We did get an hour (a whole hour!) to visit the Smithsonian!  
 > Oh, wow!!  Of course, the Smithsonian could easily take days.... 

 JM> The only thing I remember seeing was Lindberg's plane, the Hope

 JM> I understand people leave things at the traveling one as well.

Is there a museum in the works, maybe....?

 > look for some names of friends/classmates that I know served there

 JM> The names are not in alpha order.  I believe they are listed in
 JM> chronological as the person was killed.
