20100512_iPhone

Update: I’m going to try and get back on the bandwagon here. I’m sorry to say (no I’m not) that my old iPhone finally bit the dust. I’m trying my best to keep this fancy new one looking new. It takes better photos and video, too! Anyway, the recap of how this whole thing got started is below.


Allen Dale June – An original WWII Navajo Code Talker
