This bull was called Captain Courageus because he rode drift wood down the Klamath River about 5 miles, and out to sea and drifted around 20 miles until he landed in our harbor that was full of logs from the flood of Christmas 1964. He was out in the middle with just his head showing when someone spotted him and they went out to see if he could be saved as his head was moving. They drug him out of the water and took him to the Vet, a very sick bull, They got him well and instead of making food out of him they gave him a pasture in Klamath for the rest of his life which was around 25 years if I remember it right. He became an attraction and had a book written about his adventure..
Ben Hooks was a good man and a courageous warrior. A lawyer and minister, Hooks also had an impact on broadcasting. As the FCC's first black commissioner, he helped forge public policy that made television and radio news sound and look more like America. I will remember his kindness and miss his reasoned voice of fairness. Benjamin Hooks, 1925-2010

St Botolph, Barford, Norfolk
Coming back to Barford after fifteen years, I remembered very little about it. In this most intensely agricultural part of Norfolk it sits on a ridge in its small, attractive village, the work apparently of all ages from the 12th to the 15th Centuries. The six image niches flanking the chancel arch must once have been an enhancement to the rood screen. The church is open every day.

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard bearing no studio name.
Although the card was not posted, someone has written on the back:
"With Love to Auntie Tourget,
Feb. 8th. 1945".
Operation Veritable
So what else happened on Thursday the 8th. February 1945?
Well, on that day the Western Allies began Operation Veritable, a pincer movement aimed at clearing German forces from the area between the Rhine and Meuse rivers.
Day G. Turner
The day also marked the death in Dahl, Luxembourg at the age of 23 of Day G. Turner.
Turner, who was born in Berwick, Pennsylvania on the 2nd. September 1921, was a United States Army soldier, and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration - the Medal of Honor - for his actions in World War II.
Day G. Turner's Military Career
Turner joined the Army from Nescopeck, Pennsylvania in September 1943, and by the 8th. January 1945 was serving as a Sergeant in the 319th. Infantry Regiment.
On that day, in Dahl, Turner led his squad in the defence of a house against an intense German attack. Fighting hand-to-hand at times, the squad successfully repulsed the Germans and took dozens of prisoners.
Turner was later promoted to Staff Sergeant, but was killed in combat exactly one month after his earlier actions in Dahl. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on the 28th. June 1945, and was laid to rest at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial.
Medal of Honor Citation
Sergeant Turner's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
"He commanded a 9-man squad with the mission of holding a critical flank position. When overwhelming numbers of the enemy attacked under cover of withering artillery, mortar, and rocket fire, he withdrew his squad into a nearby house, determined to defend it to the last man.
The enemy attacked again and again and were repulsed with heavy losses. Supported by direct tank fire, they finally gained entrance, but the intrepid sergeant refused to surrender although 5 of his men were wounded and 1 was killed.
He boldly flung a can of flaming oil at the first wave of attackers, dispersing them, and fought doggedly from room to room, closing with the enemy in fierce hand to hand encounters.
He hurled hand grenades, bayoneted 2 fanatical Germans who rushed a doorway he was defending, and fought on with the enemy's weapons when his own ammunition was expended.
The savage fight raged for 4 hours, and finally, when only 3 men of the defending squad were left unwounded, the enemy surrendered. Twenty-five prisoners were taken, 11 enemy dead and a great number of wounded were counted.
Sgt. Turner's valiant stand will live on as a constant inspiration to his comrades.
His heroic, inspiring leadership, his determination and courageous devotion to duty exemplify the highest tradition of the military service".
