Grandpa Bahr
I love this man…a WW II bomber pilot, sweet and kind, help anyone he come across, good doing GRANDPA. He’s now lost his feeling in his fingers and from his knees down to Agent Orange, a pesticide he used in the forestry department many years ago. He’s 88 years old now and his health is sadly failing. Still strong though, still Grandpa! He was one of them (extra) ordinary people living in extraordinary times, there’s no doubt about that. I’m proud to say he’s my very Great Grandpa Bahr!

Thanks a bunch, Sadly he got a new set of wings at the beginning of the year and it no longer with us, but I treasure him and this photo still now and always. He was a hero and not just to me….he was an amazing pilot in WWII and we’re lucky we got him as long as we did :) Really… thanks so much for looking in on this one, it means a lot to me!
