    Have you spoken to Owen again, since posting this thread Roy?

    So far I've not heard from Owen, as far as I know his health is good. When I last spoke to him he was still planning on making the trip!

    I'll let you know when I know more!

    HOT OFF THE PRESS!!

    Hi all! I just got this in from Owen!! I hope all will enjoy! God how I wish I could be there!!

    The ducks are getting in row as far as the trip to Iwo is concerned.
    Steve is going with me and maybe great nephew, at the present time.
    We leave for Los Angeles the 16th, of March, fly out for Guam the 17h, have a days rest and start processing through customs at 2:00 AM on the 19th, fly to Iwo do whatever is on the program and then fly back to Guam. A Guamanian dinner that night and back to LA the next day. Overnight in LA and home the next. A fast trip but am looking forward to it. The son of the Japanese soldier that owned the razor plans to be at Iwo and I will give it to him then.

    Owen


    Steve is Owen's oldest son and is 61.

    Now let's hope the custom doesn't grab that razor!

    Good Point! I'll let Owen know! Perhaps a call to our Representative in Congress would help. Or it could screw everything up!!!!

    It's awesome to see how this story is developing. I pray that at 90 years old Owen's health stays strong until he can complete this mission and return to Iwo Jima.

    Peace,
    Jim
