That is a great idea. All I could find is that he still lives in the same house he built in 1945 in East Austin after returning from active duty. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to figure out the rest but I have no more time to spend on this today.

God Bless and thank you for your service Mr. Overton   :usa: :thanx:  :happybday:  :smoker:

Tried to find his address through online search, but am coming up blank.  Full name is Richard Arvine Overton for anyone who wants to search.  If you find it, I would love to send him a bomb for his birthday (May 11).

We could have put together a "site bomb" from a bunch of geeks and really destroyed the fella!

I could deliver it to him!  :biggrin:

If you want to take that honor, we can get cigars out to you.  His birthday is in 4 days.  Let us know so I can get it in the mail on time.

The man claims to smoke up to 12 cigars a day, so they probably won't be wasted.

How about we give everyone a week to send sticks, and I will try to deliver around the 16th, which is also Armed Forces Day. Could be great timing.  :biggrin:
