I'm cleaning and organizing my bedroom to make room for more of my memorabilia. I will share some things with you throughout the day. First is a piece of Soviet titanium from the SR-71 Blackbird Super Skater serial #17970 that crashed on June 17, 1970. Then, a B-17 picture autographed by Maj. John "Lucky" Luckadoo with the 100th BG who recently passed. Then, a picture of the USS Cowpens in the middle of Typhoon Cobra during WWII. Every plane on the deck ended up on the bottom of the Pacific, autographed by Ray Williams who was on the ship. Finally, an official U.S. Marine Corps photo from August 3, 1943 of PFC Robert M. Hubert who established a new machine-gun record of 365 points firing the .30 cal. weapon.

I'm so excited! This Friday, my friends Alan and Hilbert are going to be honored at the Atlanta Gladiators ice hockey game and I will be there! They will participate in a ceremonial puck drop before the match while their pictures are shown on the JumboTron and their bios are announced. I will post pictures after the event!

Five years ago this month, at 9 years old, I had my first flight lesson. By the time I was 10, I had accumulated the required 40 flight hours to get my pilot's license. I currently have almost twice the required flight hours, but have paused flight lessons until I'm 16 when I can solo and get my pilot's license at 17. I love flying, and my interest in WWII aircraft started it all. These are pictures from my very first flight lesson.

Have you heard of these stories about Maj. Glenn Miller?

Mr. Arnold Smith of Southampton, PA, reported that he saw Maj. Glenn Miller's dead body in Paris. He claimed that Miller was shot by a stranger, who was arrested by GIs. Miller's body was taken by a GI ambulance to the military hospital. Mr. Smith released his account on the Big Band Broadcast on March 17, 2001, and also published the story in Philadelphia's Bucks County Courier Times on March 4, 2001.

The German paper 'Bild' in a 1997 story by journalist Udo Ulfkoutte, put forward a theory that Glenn Miller died in a Paris brothel and that a plane crash was a mere cover-up.

Have you heard of any others?

Just left a local gun show. Left empty handed. Zero reloading supplies and very few historic items, and the ones they did have were way overpriced. Better luck next time.

This was the last picture taken of me before I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes nine years ago today at age 5. I had just started learning how to use a baitcaster fishing reel. I hardly ever post about my Type 1 Diabetes because I don't allow it to control my life. Most people would never know unless they see my CGM and Insulin Pump on my arm. Yes, it sucks, and there's no cure. It's crazy to think a tiny little bottle of clear liquid keeps me alive, but that's the facts. I've never allowed it to keep me form doing anything I've wanted to do, from taking flying lessons to starting G.I. Jive Radio, and I never will.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble accessing my account were all my Old Time Radio shows are stored. I'm actively communicating with the owner of the site, and he's trying to fix the issue. This means there will probably not be an Old Time Radio show tonight at 9:15PM EST. I apologize for this technical issue.
