Zoltan Peter & Glenn Miller's nephew John Miller

at the 6th Glenn Miller Festival at Twinwoods Airfield, Bedfordshire, England

Zoltan Peter's Dad Doug rode a motorbike 150 miles there & back

in 1944 to see John Miller's uncle Glenn play his only RAF airbase gig in Britain.

Glenn took off from the same place to Paris during thick fog some months later only to mysteriously disappear over the British Channel never to be seen again.

Son & nephew were moved by the sentiment in 2007.
