MY UNCLE, BYRON LOVED AIRPLANES and flew with
the Cole Brothers Air Show as a wing walker. When
the war broke out he was sent to Germany and
Luxembourg as a lineman in the Signal Corps. Their
responsibilities were to repair telephone lines and
other related things. One of his fellow soldiers was a
man by the name of Tony Bennet. They became good
friends and spent many cold nights trying to keep
warm using everything they could find to keep warm.
Tony loved to sing and did a lot of it. He said when he
got home he wanted to go to New York and be a
professional singer. A wish that really came true. I
have seen him several times on TV and as far as I know
he still singing. —BRUCE BRYNER
