MISS HESTER'S PLACE

Hester McCoy worked a the airbase for 21 years and never had a vacation. A mule and an old mean rooster were relics left from when her parents were still farmers. But Hester couldn't keep the place up. James, her eldest, joined the Air Force. His life long dream was fulfilled when he became a pilot. She was proud of him and went to visit when he was in Germany for his birthday one year. People still talk about how surprised and excited she was when he had her fly back home on the Concord!
