(GEORGE CURRY MEDIA)—While sitting in a restaurant in Kansas City, Mo., Charlie Plumb recalls, a man several tables away kept looking at him. “I didn’t recognize him,” Charlie said. But a few minutes later, the man stood up, walked over to his table, pointed his finger in Charlie’s face and said, “You’re Captain Plumb.”
“Yes sir,” Plumb said,” I’m Captain Plumb.”
The man certainly knew who Plumb was, for he proceeded to tell him about Plumb’s own war history— flying jet fighters in Vietnam and being shot down; parachuting into enemy hands and spending six years as a prisoner of war.
