Bruce

Now this was one tough man.  My Mother's brother, Bruce.  Here he is in the Army during the Second World War.  He drove a tank on a desert in Africa where Rommel was after them.  (Please don't quote my history here.)  The story is told that Bruce was actually shot with the bullet going through his short collar and he was not hurt.  I've always thought of Bruce as a troubled soul, first growing up without a father and then the war.  But, he survived and I think lived well into his 70's.
I loved him a lot.
