Interesting.......my dad left MSU in the summer of 1943 and became a bombardier in a B-24. On a return trip after a bombing run he had to take over for the nose gunner who got shot. He completed 35 missions and was only partially shot down and crash landed once. He told me after getting out of the plane, there were 50 cal. enemy rounds in the side of the plane you could put your fist through. He kneeled down and kissed the ground.RIP to Judge John Fraiser. Truly part of greatest generation and loved his Bulldogs.
