About a year ago the Volcano area lost one of it's longtime core community members. Mitch Mitchell (husband of unofficial Mayor of Volcano, Betsy Mitchell) had been a bombadier in a B-29 Superfortress in the Pacific, making raids on Japan. He would readily answer questions about his experience though I never felt the desire to ask what I thought might be uncomfortable questions of him.
