Comments: First, thank you all for your service! My father, Sag Sagerholm, USN Lt (ret), flew as co-pilot and later pilot on PBM's in VP-42 during Korea and later in Alaska. Anyone who would like to contact him, his email is J35Racer@earthlink.net He is undergoing rehab for a knee operation (as of 4-08) but he's still ornery as ever. :) Mark Sagerholm - catchallfl@hotmail.com
