Tom,
I had the honor of meeting Pappy Boyington at the wedding of his granddaughter Tiffany some years ago. I had been hired by Tiffany to be her wedding photographer but her last name of Boyington never even registered as she and I had been friends for some time before this.
During the reception Tiffany was introducing me to some of her family and very off-handedly mentioned "and this is my grandpa, Pappy Boyington". When I realized I was shaking the hand of a national war hero I almost fainted.
