Great shot Cotty! I heard a program on public radio on Friday about the surviving WWI vets (there are only nine in Britain - all over 100 years old) and William Stone was one of them. At 105 he's the *youngest*! He and another (who's 109!) made an appearance together and sent everyone off with a song. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5009953 Very moving story, and tremendously well done. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
