The 60's "Gabby" is the one I was talking about; the WWII story sounds more
like his father, "Big Gabby". Both were nicknamed "Gabby"; I believe the old
man was known as "Big Gabby" and the son was known as "Little Gabby". Little
Gabby was the one who flew in Millegeville. I never knew the old man, but
heard plenty of stories about him.
KLR does this sound right?
