    An uncle of mine, Hugh Wallace Willey was 35 when drafted for
 WW II. He was commissioned a 2nd Lt. at age 36. He went through
 the Pacific War with Gen. Kenney's Fifth Air Force as an ordnance
 officer. From Australia to Japan.
    He and I were both recalled for the Korean war. He retired as
 Full Colonel while I only made it to Lt. Col.  He was more like
 an older brother than an uncle...
