On Saturday, November 22, we drove to the home of Keith
Nolan's parents where Keith is presently living and
being cared for by his mother. Fortunately for us, Keith
was up to having visitors and we had a most enjoyable
visit with him and his mother, Ulla Nolan. Keith is
doing as well as he can and was in good spirits. He said
to tell everyone at the Ripcord Association how deeply
appreciative he is of the donations being made to the
trust fund for Anna Britt.
 He said it has helped to ease
his mind to think his daughter may someday have the
opportunity to go to college. He also said that of all
the veteran groups he has met in writing his books,
without a doubt the Ripcord Association has been the
warmest, most caring group of people he has dealt with.
Ulla told us that Britt is presently a straight-A
student and, like her father, she is eager to learn and
she loves to write. Unfortunately, we were unable to
meet Britt that afternoon, but Keith and his mom showed
us pictures of her (and she is a cutie), as well as
things she has written for school.
Keith's mother is the trustee of the Anna Britt Nolan
Trust, and she asked us to tell everyone at the Ripcord
Association that she wishes she could write a thank you
note to each and every person who has made a donation to
the trust fund. Unfortunately, she is still working and
when she is not at work, she is busy taking care of
Keith. She asked us to pass along her thanks to all of
you.
Please continue to keep Keith and his family in your
prayers. If you wish to donate to the fund, here is the
address:
