Mailbox story

The Post office wanted us to put up our mailbox at the curb instead of on the house, so we did this! I was planning to use this stone as a bench seat, but it makes a pretty good mail box post!

We got this totally beat up mailbox at a white elephant party. It still had the remains (and the smell!) of exploded firecrackers in it! We laughed so much and I thought it would be funny to actually use it.

Then I had the idea that a shark face would look cool on it. So I did this.

This mailbox was in honor of Robert Lee Scott, Jr. and his WWII mount, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk he named "Old Exterminator"

One day, we met Alden Rigby, one of the aces from the WWII 352nd Fighter Group! He lives fairly close to us, and we decided to do this mailbox in honor of him and the Blue Nosers!
Here is a painting of him just lifting off the runway at their temporary base they called "Y-29" in Asch Belgium as the German Luftwaffe attacked on New Year's day, 1945. And here is the mailbox! Click this link for the Legend of Y29! http://352ndfg.com/Y-29/legend.htm

The next mailbox was in honor of C.E. "Bud" Anderson and his airplane "Old Crow". He flew with Chuck Yeager in WWII and they are still best friends. Contrary to popular belief, Bud NEVER flew as Yeager's wing man

Look at the font that they used to paint "Old Crow"

Here is my newest mailbox . . . this airplane is "Lucky Number 29" The pilot was Ira Kepford and was one of the US Navy's leading aces of WWII.

My boy Spencer loves this airplane and asked me to do a mailbox for him.

Here is the Airplane.
