A World View

The heat and humidity we’ve had during the month of June in Florida, reminded me of this picture taken in June of 1944 at Accra, Ghana near the equator on the coast of West Africa. I’m pretty sure the heat and humidity there were higher there than here. However, at age 23, with the sea-breeze, pineapples, bananas and getting to see the world, I did not mind it. (That’s me on the left, enjoying a pineapple)

As for seeing the world; thanks to being a WWII pilot, I saw much of it. Enough to discard any notions I otherwise would have carried to the grave.
