I had an unassuming geology instructor I became friends with in the late '60s, when I started college after getting out of the Army. He mentioned one time he had been in the Army during WWII. I didn't think much about it until I saw his name on his mail box: Col. Albert Mcelhoe AUS. When I asked him about it, I found out he had been a bird Colonel who served as G-1 from '43 to '45 on Gen Stilwell's staff. He would frequently fly over "the hump" to consult with the General in Burma. Retired in the early '50s and started life over again. I appreciated him then and remember him fondly. He died in 2000 at the age of 91.
