Lewis "Pat" Patteson is a WWII US Navy pilot and member of the "Blind Foxes" VP-135 who 1st flew the PV-1 Ventura aircraft from the Aleutian Islands. Pat also flew PBY's and PV-2 Harpoon aircraft. Pat is a veteran of several combat and reconnaissance missions and has some great stories and personal photographs in this book.

Here's a short interview with Pat: "IÕm Pat Patteson. IÕm awaiting my 100th birthday. I was a Navy pilot and graduated with my gold wings from Corpus Christi, Texas, and was immediately sent to the Pacific and ended up in the North Pacific after training at Whidbey Island in a new airplane to the Navy. This time, instead of PBYs, they were going to introduce a land-based patrol plane, the Ventura, and we were formed into a 15 plane squadron and replaced most of the PBYs that had been on patrol in the Aleutian Islands. We were sent to that first, to the Aleutian Islands. It was Adak, then Amchitka, then Attu. And we flew photo reconnaissance. That was our job.
Our intelligence people at the Pentagon had very little information about the Japanese forces in the Kuril Islands. They had just taken the islands of Kiska and Attu. This was six months after Pearl Harbor. I flew in three photo reconnaissance squadrons, all of them VPB-135. In 1943, I came back, reformed with new pilots and new planes; in 1944, better equipped with more photographic equipment and, finally, in 1945, in a PV-2 squadron formed again and trained at Whidbey Island.
When the war was nearing its end on VJ Day, I was on Attu and most of us stayed inside our huts rather than get out where the celebrations were going on. I was one of the first to return and be separated from the Navy. I flew a plane all the way from -- with a copilot and a crew of other seamen and officers, back to the states. They had been eligible for discharge and I took them and dropped them off from Seattle to Burbank to Phoenix to El Paso and then into Abilene, Texas. So my war days were settled very quickly and I returned to school. I had been taken out of college after two years of credits and I got to civilian life and after my sojourn with the Navy. Thank you."

hot hockey players in love ♥️
Format: Kindle
I have enjoyed this series so much 🥰Seeing all my favorite hockey players and their ladies get their HEA in these 4 novellas just made my heart all gooey 😍. I have truly learned to love these characters and the bromance of the hockey players, as well as the sisterhood of the WAGS. I all so glad Elle Kennedy wrote a continuing series 😘. Although my preference is sweet and clean reads, these spicy romances have captured my heart with their plot development and authentic characters. That being said this book, like the others in the series, have strong language and sexually explicit material. For mature audiences only. If you are ok with that, I highly recommend this series 😉

The Perfect Conclusion!
Format: Kindle
I was a little skeptical starting this one cause I’m not usually a novella person. BIG HOWEVER! This was definitely needed because I was already starting to miss the OG Briar kids! I’m not gonna go into too much detail since this is a spoiler free account, but I’ll just give you my thoughts on each novella: Logan and Grace: this one had me kicking my feet, giggling, and SQUEALING! It was so cute from start to finish and of course there was a little spiciness🤭 no complaints about this one! Dean and Allie: In the words of Jacob Black- “SHE’S NOT SURE WHAT SHE WANTS” and it irritated the hell out of me🙄 She was absolutely infuriating in this one and couldn’t wait for this part to be over🥲 Tucker and Sabrina: There’s started off a bit flat if I’m honest. I mean, they were just kind of. . .boring. Which is a shame cause they’re my favorites out of the whole series!😭 Graham and Hannah: Of course the OGs! Loved their portion of the book, until a certain part happened😐 I feel like Garrett didn’t handle it well, but he made up for it in the end. But this one was also so sweet because it showed how supportive they are to each other in their different careers. This book wasn’t overly spicy because it was more so about life after the college world experience, which is fine. There was still a fair amount of spice and I loved what I was given!😅 Last thing I’ll say about this book: I did not expect to laugh as hard as I did reading this! I mean I was legitimately CACKLING through this entire book!😂 Overall, I really enjoyed this one and loved seeing what our favorite characters were up to after graduation.

This product works.Worth the price!
Color: Mayday
My son had the worst sunburn I have ever seen. I looked for products and found this one. It said 3 times the relief. It is expensive it's around 50.00 dollars. I would have paid a hundred dollars to get my son some relief.If it would work. I should add that my son is grown.But his burn was so bad.He couldn't even take his shirt off without it hurting. I applied this product as said a p size shape.My son is a larger young man.He's almost six foot 220lbs.. I applied the product as said got him as comfortable as I could. And went on about my business. I checked back in and a couple of hours, and he said he felt some relief. I talked to him today and he goes mom. I feel a whole lot better. Unfortunately, he did blister, so he will have to go into the doctors. Just to be sure that blisters don't get infected. The relief he felt is worth the price.Anytime.. Just on a side note, I got natural witch, hazel and aloe vera.And when you mix the two together, it is a good compliment to this product to keep the skin moisturized as it's drying out. When I get the olive era product, I will write a review to see if it is good..
