Dick Jeppson, a WWII vet and a friend of sorts passed away March 30th from heart failure. Dick was one of the last two crewmembers of the Enola Gay and was charged with arming the Little Boy's electrical system just prior to being dropped on Japan. This was also the only mission he flew. I met Dick some time ago and stayed in loose touch with him. Your stories will be missed my friend. I just wish I could have seen you one last time. RIP.
