RIP, Doc.
This is a very interesting web-site based on a history project by a sixth grade class to research a Japanese prison camp (Fukuoka 17-Omuta) and what they found out about the camp, the POWs (many of them defenders of Corregidor and survivors of the Bataan march), and the defense of Corregidor.

Click on the Conventions and Reunions link and then on the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Convention Washington DC April 2007 for a pic of Doc Brown when he was a spry looking 101 years old.
Some truly amazing stories.
