I haven’t finished it but the bits about Jr & Jack processing applications for refugees and Jack’s idea of “tourist visas” were things I’d never heard before. Amazing what can be done by people who really want to.

That was one of the things — maybe the major thing — that really hit me. That, and how frail his health had always been. My back has a similar problem to his, and I can’t imagine how he managed the WW2 service and everything else. Of course, if he had lived to my age, it would have become harder and harder for him to keep everything in the air.
