Jack Foster, a veteran of World 2 and the battle for Okinawa, as was I, died a few days ago at 92. I first met Jack when he came to the church on a motorized wheel chair, wearing a World War 2 veteran cap. It wasn't long before he was saying, as did many naval veterans of Okinawa, "Mr.Truman saved my life,'' He was referring to the dropping of the atom bomb on Japan, forcing that country to surrender and save many of us from having to invade.
Jack had many problems but he had a positive outlook, enjoying his hobbies, which included building bird houses.
