Many of us on Palomar have fond memories of Bill and Grace Leibold. They built a home in the shape of a ship 1970’s out on Birch Hill. Bill is one of the last survivors of WWII and is the last survivor of the USS Tang.
Long-time subscribers to Palomar Mountain News might remember stories posted in the past telling a bit of their story. Links are below.
It was fun to get a call a few weeks ago from media/photographer director of AARP. He said they were including Bill in a story and asked for a photo. After another fun visit with Bill (at 97 1/2 years young!) and one of his sons, we sent this one. It didn’t make the article but such a great photo of a great couple and here you have it on PMNews!
Click for the AARP article and scroll down to the story on Bill – ‘I saw defeat in the faces of Japanese prison guards’.
