Lou Alexander, Navigator, Phone Call

From the Prairies to the Skies | home

On December 21, 2011, Lou Alexander, my Dad's B-24 Navigator, called us out of the blue, thanks to the miracle of a Google search. He had not had any contact with any of the crew since they parted ways at the end of WWII. Deciding to see if he could contact anyone, he did a Google search for my dad's name and got the phone number of a 3rd cousin who has the same name as my dad. This Richard gave Lou the number of my brother, Arris. Arris talked to him for an hour and then referred him to me, since Arris thought Lou would enjoy seeing this website. Arris quickly called me and told me about the phone call and that Lou would probably be calling me, so I quickly got a recorder so I could record as much as I could get. Here's the phone call:
