Subject: Major Elijah (Buddy) G. Tollett, IV

Major Tollett was my Uncle Buddy. He was like a god to us kids as he could master anything. I know he was a bit ashamed of being navigator rather than pilot, due to color blindness which runs in our men. He was as handsome as a movie star and he loved me very much. I saw his widow, Aunt Polly, just a couple of weeks ago. She loves Buddy now as she always has. I have tears creeping out of the corners of my eyes. I was never fully informed re the particulars of Uncle Bud's death. It grieves me to think of that proud, beautiful head possibly removed from his precious body. I had to know, and I thank you. However, I choose to see him on the golf course, in the sun, drving the hell out of the ball and grinning...
