Thanks for that D4th, nice to see he put his knowledge to good use, it also made sure he survived the war!

My Grandfather was in Airfield Construction in the RAF in WW2!

I seem to remember tales of all the pouring
being done overnight, illuminated by truck
headlights, and other extreme measures taken
in order to get the damned stuff to HARDEN!

I think a huge chunk of what we know today
about concrete was learned during that war!

Richard went on to spend his entire career in
that field, spending a year at MIT after the
war and later as Engineering Director at the
Dragon Cement Company. He went all over
H**L for that company, and then spent his
final years as a consultant.

Best thing about Cousin Richard was that he
was a small person with a huge personality
and an even huger intellect. He wanted to be
a pilot, but he was Too Scrawney!

We always had lots of FUN when he was around!
