Five do-ahead cooking tips for the holidays
ersonal chef Preston Leeke makes his living by staying ahead of his cooking. Leeke, who runs Home Cooking by Preston, will come to your home to cook, or bring freshly frozen dishes to your door. As the holidays approach, he shares five tips to keep your culinary head above water at your next holiday party. Start preparing the day before. Things like cutting vegetables and preparing cold dishes can be done ahead and will save you time the day of the party. Think big. Preparing one big dish is faster and easier than preparing several smaller dishes. Use timers. Multitasking can save lots of time, but it can also allow you to forget about the dessert in the oven. Give yourself plenty of time. Select dishes that can be prepared easily in the time that you have. Rushing a dish can lead to mistakes, including under cooking.
Finish cooking before guests arrive. Even if you plan to serve hors doeuvres, food can be ready to serve and kept warm in the oven between 180 and 200 F . Having everything done ahead of time leaves you more time with your guests and lessens the chance of overcooking.

Hooked on a hobby
Enthusiast wants to start club and teach others to build fishing rods
Story by JOEY HOLLEMAN Photographs by TRACY GLANTZ
harlie Sexton originally was intrigued about building fishing rods because it seemed like a good deal. Turns out, it was a good deal more than that; it became his passion. Rod-building paraphernalia, including a homemade lathe, cover the dining room table at his Blythewood-area home. Rods in various stages of construction lean against the wall. Finished beauties hang on the garage wall. I just get a kick out of doing it, Sexton said. Ive pretty much got a custom rod for every place I go to fish. And he gives away nearly as many as he keeps. One he donated for auction at a National Kidney Foundation fundraiser drew a $1,700 winning bid. Sexton, 81 and a member of the Custom Rod Builders Guild, evangelizes on the joys of rod building. He has taught a few classes, and now hes trying to get a rod-building club started in the Midlands.
All it takes is some training, a few simple pieces of equipment and a smattering of skill and patience. The end result, if you do it right, is better than a store-bought rod, Sexton said. Even if you arent an expert builder like Sexton, theres something special about catching a fish with a rod you built yourself. It does make the fish feel better on the end of the line, said John Campbell, who took Sextons class and has built three rods of his own. A retired airline pilot and lifelong fisherman, Sexton first got interested in rod building in the late 1970s. I read a magazine article that said if I built my own fishing rod, I could save 50 percent, Sexton said. Thats the biggest d*** lie Ive ever heard. After buying equipment and parts, instead of the $50 rod he could have bought in a store, he had spent $150 and a lot of time

on his homemade rod. But he quickly realized the goal wasnt to save money; it was to create a unique, high-quality rod. If you build a rod in my class, you cant buy a better rod than that no matter how much you pay for it, Sexton said. Sexton, who lived in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., at the time, went to his first rodbuilding seminar in Allentown, Pa., in 1982. He sat in the back of the room and watched and listened. A year later, he started making his own rods and brought some to the next seminar. Even though he had made his rods straight from the directions in one of the rod-builders journals, the other builders were impressed enough to ask him to give a presentation at their next annual meeting. Hes made one every year since, always coming up with something new to talk about. His inventions to make the job easier have earned him the nickname the Rube Goldberg of rod builders. His garage is full of devices he has put together. One of his gizmos helps find
the spine of the blank rods that serve as the canvas for his art. All rods have a certain point where they bend naturally. Ideally, you put the fishing-line guides either directly on the spine or 180 degrees from the spine. That keeps the rod perfectly balanced when it bends. Sexton says store-bought rods seldom have their guides exactly on the spine. Sexton devised a spine-finder out of a ball bearing, a couple of pieces of wood and a wooden point. Put the base of the rod on the point, pull the end of the rod down, and it rotates on the ball bearing to reveal the spine. Sexton also built the lathe on his dining room table, which he uses to rotate the rod while wrapping thread to create colorful patterns (fish, American flags, company logos) around the handle. If a guy has more artistic ability than me, God knows what he could do, he said. The handles themselves can be a work of art. Sexton creates custom handles by wrapping carbon fiber around a PVC

pipe, applying epoxy and then wrapping it in shrink tape while it dries. The outer layer often is some form of snake skin. Rattlesnake is the best. For another set of handles, he collected wine corks and cut and trimmed them into custom shapes. But he decided that was too time-consuming. Sexton figures to put about seven hours of working time into each rod, spread out over several days to allow for epoxy to dry. For his classes, he likes to do them over two weekends so the work isnt done in a hurry.

Charlie Sexton, who has been building rods since the late 1970s
He will build custom rods to specifications, starting in the $200 range for low-end materials to several times that for the best rods, handles, guides and reel seats. But, in his twist of the give a man a fish-teach a man to fish cliche, hed rather help somebody learn how to make their own rods. He has taught three rod-building classes in recent years. Now hed like to form a local rod-building club, joining others with expertise of their own and novices with a desire to learn the skill. He hopes to recruit half a dozen people. I want help other people learn how to do this, said Sexton, surrounded by boxes of rod parts in his garage. Its obvious Im very enthused about my hobby.
All in the details. Sexton would like to form a local club devoted to building fishing rods. Above, one of Sexton's personal fishing rods features a front of abalone and a handle of woven threads.

Decorating by design
Story by DEENA C. BOUKNIGHT, Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazine Photographs by TIM DOMINICK rofessional stager Joe Duffus says it is not unusual for consumers to visit model homes and want to buy specific items, whole rooms or the entire dcor when they visit. The designers on staff at his company, Builders Design, study demographics, communities, entertainment, universities and sports teams in an area before converging on a home and decorating in a manner that they hope will appeal to a buyer. We turned to several professional stagers and decorators who designed showcase homes
for the 2011 Tour of Homes sponsored by the Home Builders of Great Columbia. Jessica Sauble, an interior designer with Builders Design, worked on The Drayton in Cherokee Village. Built by Holiday Builders, the home features a coffered ceiling in the foyer, an open floor plan with arches, Charleston-style double porches and a sunroom. Its very important, especially in this current market, that consumers make the most

of smaller spaces and are a little more creative, says Sauble. A home office, for example, needs to double as a guest room or vice versa. That unused corner can house a home office armoire or an organization station for bills, recipes or homework. Sauble advises avoiding many small pieces that will give a room a cluttered look. And she warns against matchy matchy. Instead, go for an eclectic, collected ambiance, she says. Area rugs that grab attention in a room can be all about texture or all about design. And, of course, the right colors draw the eye. Use mirrors over the windows to give a transom-like look to a room; it also gives the illusion of depth. To achieve this look in the Drayton house, she purchased inexpensive mirrors from Target. Consider a local attraction to plan a childs room around. Sauble
focused a girls room on the theme of the Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. She incorporated animal silhouette decals and bright, striped window treatments in the room. Julie M. Jones of Tuttle Interiors assisted Hallmark Homes with furnishing and staging The Roycraft, a home in Hampton Forest. The neighborhood is so fun young, hip, colorful we wanted to bring that vibe into the model home as well, she says. My mindset is that design does not have to be expensive. If you are young and just starting out, particularly, its important to have fun with it, but also be budget conscious. For some of the rooms, she purchased from IKEA. Since The Roycraft is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom townhouse, she wanted to make certain she utilized every possible space. Instead of a sofa table in the living room, we placed a 3-footdeep desk. Its the perfect size and allows you to work without having to hold
everything on your lap. Because Jones was working with a narrow footprint and tighter spaces, the goal was to give the illusion that the spaces were larger. A sectional does a great job of providing lots of seating without being bulky, she says. It has all the seating you need, but doesnt overwhelm the space. Also, its a lowerbacked sofa, so everything stays low as your eye travels toward the back of the house. Jones also decorated The Calhoun in the Woodleigh Pointe neighborhood of Lake Carolina, also built by Hallmark Homes. This home is a more spacious, two-story home with four full porches, a large kitchen island and an open kitchen/ dining/living room plan. You can see a busy family and kids fitting right in. We wanted to make sure the liveliness and flow was enhanced by the interiors. The mudroom can serve as a sewing room, an office, a gardening nook or an enhanced pantry. We added chalkboard and magnet paint to two walls in this

Its a great spot for kids to draw while mom and dad cook in the kitchen. At a townhome in the Saluda River Club featured in the Tour of Homes, interior designer Jessica Reitz contrasted oversized, tight-back sofas in cream with darker stained wood pieces. Reitz also added geometric patterned throw rugs for a splash of color and a bit of local personality with a South Carolina railroad art piece.

Story by GIGI HUCKABEE, Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazine Photograph by KIM KIM FOSTER-TOBIN
ave you brushed off picking paint for your home until it cools off? Well, its time. But you couldnt pick a hotter time to take advantage of all the innovations in paint. Benjamin Moore dealer Wade Sturkie of E.D.s Paint & Decorating in Lexington explains some of the new features and offers a few tips. E.D.s Paint and Decorating is at 403 E. Main St., Lexington. E.D.s Paint Center is in Polo Plaza, 9810 Two Notch Road. Your home is your most important investment, says Sturkie, so take the time to put some thought and research into your paint project. Know the ABCs of VOCs: What are VOCs? A 2008 article in Consumer Reports defines VOCs, volatile organic compounds, as solvents that get released into the air as the paint dries. The federal government limits emissions to 250 grams per liter for flat finishes and 380 grams per liter in other finishes. But a few companies have developed products that adhere to more stringent limits. Read paint labels and ask questions, Sturkie says. A base paint might be free of VOCs but adding color pigmentation might also add VOCs. Our tinting process does not change the VOC of paints. Try acrylic paints: Sturkie, who has been in the paint and decorating business for 30 years, says that oil-based paints are being phased out because of their higher VOC content, although, at present, oil-based primers are still allowed. The new acrylic Aura exterior paint from Benjamin Moore is a waterborne product, with a higher resistance to mildew and fading and comes in three different finishes: flat, satin (some sheen) and semi-gloss. Paint or stain the deck? Deck and porch paints have changed tremendously too, says Sturkie. They
have really improved the durability. The semi transparents have to have clear coats put over them that need to be freshened up every few years, but the solids are a one-time shot. Pick the right paint for the purpose of the room: Interior paint comes in flat (no sheen), matte (1 percent sheen), eggshell (slight sheen), pearl (satin finish) and semi-gloss. Our most popular seller is eggshell, says Sturkie, because it is the most child-friendly; its scrubbable. A matte finish will better hide imperfections in the walls. Pearl lends itself to contemporary settings, he says, while semi-gloss is the finish to use on wood trim. Many of todays bathrooms now have spa-like features and much more potential for mold and mildew damage so they require a special moisture-resistant paint. Selecting color can be tricky. Get help from a local dealer who has been in the business for a while and knows paints. So many things affect selection: style of the home (traditional or contemporary), lighting in the room, wood tones of furniture and floors, fabrics and rugs. Having an inspirational piece such as a swatch of fabric or a color from a painting will help. Come armed with a photo of the room, a drawing of the rooms layout and its relationship to other rooms. Choose the right tools for the job. A roller with a short nap is best for drywall, while concrete takes a thicker nap. In the brush line, choose a high quality nylon brush. A short-handled brush is popular with the ladies because it fits their hands better. Gigi Huckabee is a freelance writer based in the Midlands.

Hey, avid sailors: Pass it on

Story and photograph by DAN ROBINSON Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazine
ll of us who sail on Lake Murray have a vested interest in the future of sailing. The publication of Nicholas Hayess book, Saving Sailing, was a call to arms for those who want sailing to flourish as a sport and pastime. With any leisure activity, it is vital that it remain attractive to new and younger participants to sustain itself into the next generation. Hayes points out that sailing participation has declined 40 percent since 1997. Those involved in the sport have witnessed this downturn, but the percentage is still startling. Other outdoor sports, such as hunting, have suffered similar fates in recent years. Hayes states that contrary to popular myth, cost is not a barrier for entry into sailing for many. Fiberglass sailboats are often inexpensive, last for decades, and retain their value. The biggest obstacle for most new sailors is that they do not know how to start sailing. Some try to learn on their own and often give up. While todays society provides families with endless opportunities that compete for their free time, Hayes lays the responsibility at the feet of experienced sailors, and parents in particular, for not bringing newcomers into the sport. Hayes ties the drop in sailing participation to the decline of family sailing. He urges parents to get actively involved in their childrens activities and not simply sit on the sidelines. Mentoring is contagious enthusiasm, is Hayes slogan, and he believes that it is the answer to saving sailing. By mentoring your own children rather than relying on others, sailing becomes a family activity.

If you are a parent, but do not have the skills to teach your children, the Columbia Sailing Club (CSC), Lake Murray Sailing Club (LMSC), and Windward Point Yacht Club all have youth camps and programs to train youngsters who want to become sailors. Parents can take sailing courses as well to develop skills and eventually make it a family activity. CSC, LMSC, and the Lanier Sailing Academy on Lake Murray all offer adult courses. LMSC has taken Hayes approach one step further and initiated a mentoring program for its members and prospective members. The club provides a list of mentors who coach new sailors as they develop their skills and offer advice on different boats. It is essential that todays sailors pass on the joys of sailing to a younger, more diverse group so that it remains a vital sport. As Nicholas Hayes says, Some find sailing to be magnetic, consuming, even spiritual. That sounds like something worth sharing with everyone.

Esprit de corps. The Irmo High School Marching Band performs during a half time show at Irmo.
Story by RACHEL HAYNIE Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazine Photographs by TRACY GLANTZ
rom the top of their plumes to the bottom of the spats of their shoes, high school marching band members strut to a different drummer. Booster clubs keep high school marching bands on a high note and in perfect harmony. We introduce you to two such clubs in Irmo and Spring Valley. The Irmo High School marching band has won 10 consecutive state championships. Spring Valley is playing host to the Class AA/AAAA State Marching Band finals in late October.

taying in step with one of the states legendary high school bands keeps Irmo band booster club members hopping. For every hour students practice their instruments, booster parents invest comparable time preparing for an event or tying up loose ends from the last one. Booster club president John Lindower presides over the cacophony of logistics, which includes attending frequent meetings, sending and answering flurries of emails and getting musicians, Sousaphones, drum sets, flags and other props into playing position. Water em, snack em, feed em is a booster club mantra. Like an army, the band marches on its stomach; when the ensemble

is on the move, the booster club picks up tabs at meal stops. Then, sometimes, there is the kindness of restaurant owners, such as Hungry Howies Pizza, stepping up to feed the entourage, Lindower said. Yellow Jacket fever is infectious in Irmo, extending not only to the highly visible, award-winning marching band and attendant color guard unit, but also to the concert, symphonic and jazz bands. Because there also are clinics to attend,
sheet music to supply, instruments and equipment to repair and fundraising an ever-present priority. The booster club raises money by selling bales of pine straw in October. This month, club members take orders for Florida citrus what has become known as Band Fruit. Local businesses offer special Yellow Jacket discounts. Others donate a pre-set percentage of certain days proceeds. Every fundraising event also raises awareness of the band within the community, from the garage sale and
pancake breakfast to August band camp. The booster clubs reputation for hard work and effectiveness influenced Roger Simpsons decision to accept his position as director of bands this fall. But it is the clubs reputation for hospitality thats at the heart of its successful fundraising. Hosting the annual Palmetto Esprit de Corps Invitational, a marching band competition and partnership with the U.S. Marine Corps, provides an early fall revenue source in exchange for a lot of hard work. Although they do perform an

And the bands play on

The Midlands is band country. Blythewood High School has hosted the Tournament of Bands five times. In late October, Batesburg-Leesville, the 2010 Class A champion, played host to the A and AAA state championships, while Spring Valley High School hosted the Class AA and AAAA band finals. For more information on marching bands and other middle school and high school musical activities, go to the South Carolina Band Link, bandlink.org Spring Valley bands: www. springvalleybands.org The Bands of Irmo: www. irmoband.org
exhibition at the end of the event, the host band does not compete in the Palmetto, explained booster club secretary Jane Richardson. This frees band members to work most of the afternoon alongside booster members at one of the work posts. Booster club members direct traffic, assist the judges and operate the concession stands. Before the lights in the stadium went off on this years Palmetto, Caroline Buck, its chairwoman, had an idea list started for Palmetto 2012.
oosting the band that boosts the football teams morale helps make the Spring Valley Band Booster Club a first-string player at the high school. Their help is significant to the band and the overall success of the Vikings athletics program. Its a big job, said David Allison, director of bands at Spring Valley High School. Myriad are the tasks undertaken by members of this multi-talented cadre of committed parents, who seem to be omnipresent when the band is on the move. Lisa Jones, president of the Spring
Valley club, said the band has a different level of financial support than the ball team, so parents step up. Otherwise, our kids would not get to participate in this opportunity for growth. Jones, whose daughter now plays the clarinet she played a generation ago in her high school band, said booster club members work begins long before school and football crank up. Returning band members are expected to learn their music over the summer

and to be ready to play when band camp begins in August, Jones said. The booster club is committed to having parents on site whenever theres anything band-related going on. There are 92 band members, and all players parents are considered members of the band booster club. Much more goes on behind the scenes. If there were a need for first aid, or a player just needed a little encouragement, a booster parent is there, Jones said. It would be unrealistic to expect the band director to do his job and also keep up with all the other things that must be done for 92 kids. Allison, who has worked with the Spring Valley band for 18 years and as director since 2005, said the band booster club supports the bands operating budget, and plans social events such as a banquet, Senior Night, and staff-student meals. Fundraising is a big part of their effort, and their enthusiasm and wide-spread support enhances the bands reputation in the community, making it easier to attract sponsorships, donations and ad sales. Jody Lee chairs the booster clubs pit crew, which is responsible for getting instruments out on the field for the halftime performance. Students wouldnt be able to maneuver the vibraphone, and
handling the bass drum is tough, said Lee, a former SV trumpet player. Unwieldy instruments are wheeled out onto the playing field and off in Bandorh, a Japanese mini-truck that you could say is the bands mascot. The truck, small enough to fit inside the bed of a regular truck, is equipped with special tires that wont tear up the turf. It is crewed by parents. A few parents went all the way to a truck dealership in Texarkana, Texas, to get the Bandohr and drive it back to Columbia, said Lee, whose son and daughter are band members. Booster parents also help with uniforms; the members plumes are especially important. Jones explained the Viking green line topped off by the feathered plumes, on shakos (hats), enable band judges to see that the ranks are aligned properly. The straighter the plumes, the straighter the line, and the better the points. So the Spring Valley band tips its hats to judges. The booster clubs sells programs, tickets and concessions at the state championship in late October. We want to establish a foundation so no student will have to drop out of the band because of a lack of funds. The costs can really add up, said Jones.

Food and wine gadgets to make football den-gating easy

Story by KATIE MCELVEEN, Special to Lake Murray and Northeast magazine Photographs by TIM DOMINICK and KIM KIM FOSTER-TOBIN
all is the perfect time of year for friends to gather around the television to cheer for the home team especially on rainy days when a den-gate is better than a tailgate. But whether youve got a home theater complete with all the latest audio-visual technology or just a giant flat-screen in the den, chances are youll be serving up food and drinks from the first kickoff to the final excruciating seconds. To help you keep your mind on the game, weve rounded up a few gadgets that will keep hot things hot, cold things cold and add a little style to your party.
1 Microwave popcorn is greatuntil it burns. This oldschool popcorn machine, updated with a Palmetto-state paint job, pops loads of kernels without singeing a single one and keeps the whole mess warm and crunchy for hours. And youve gotta have the boxes. Palmetto Popcorn Cart $899, 50 boxes $8.99 at Cromers. 2 Stored in the freezer, gel-filled koozies keep cold drinks cold. $7.95 at the Gourmet Shop. 3 If you didnt get a crock pot for a wedding gift and want to keep a pot of soup warm on the counter, a single butane-powered burner will do the trick. Also doubles as a saute station for Sunday morning omelettes. Jaccard Butane Burner, $30 at Mary & Marthas. 4 Exciting plays and non-stop action means that hot food often cools on the plate before guests have a chance to dig in. Warm Serv-a-Sizzlers in the oven, and theyll keep those burgers piping hot until the next commercial. The built-in trivet keeps lapsand fingers cool. $14 each at Mary & Marthas. 5 Touchdown! Oops, there goes another glass of red wine on the floor. Your team isnt the only winner. Wine Away works like magic to remove ruby-red stains from rugs, clothing, tablecloths and upholstery, $10.99 at the Gourmet Shop. 6 Wipe that stain right off your face (and teeth) with Wine Wipes, $7.95 for 20 wipes in a compactsized container, at Gourmet Shop. 7 Big ice cubes melt more slowly than puny ones, theyre also kind of fun. Freeze them yourself with Tovolos silicone ice molds, small size: 2/$14, large, $7.99 at Mary & Marthas. 8 Quandary: spend hours after your party doing dishes or contribute to overflowing landfills by using disposable plates, cups and cutlery. Solution: flatware and dishes made from earth-friendly, biodegradable corn starch and sugar cane fiber. $2.99-$4.99 at EarthFare. Even when the weather is chilly, theres something festive about a frozen drink. Whip em up in style with Margaritaville Bahamas Frozen Concoction Maker, which lets you choose between shaved or blended ice. $199.99 at Target.com. When you want your den to still look like a den, but with the convenience of ice, drinks and hot snacks at your fingertips, consider hiding them in drawers. Refrigerator and ice machine drawers from Sub Zero, $1,800-2,500, warming drawer, $1,200 from Thermador; microwave oven drawer $2,000 from Wolf at S&G Builder Appliance. It really isnt a football party without hot dogs, but grilling them takes time and boiled hot dogs look so sad bobbing in water for hours. Roller-grilled hot dogs may take a bit longer, but they stay delicious for hours and wont explode, get tough or hit the bun with crusty burned spots. $41.19 at Target.com.

ribbon cutting to mark the opening of landing areas at the new Lexington County Airport was only days away. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, the airport swiftly shifted to military operation. The former family farmland had been transformed into military-ready landing
fields as part of a strategic grid authorized for the nations defense drive. The Columbia Army Air Base, as it soon was renamed, emerged as the preeminent WWII B-25 training center, with auxiliary airfields and sub-bases under its jurisdiction. But personnel on the air base were not all military. Civilians who were
residents of nearby communities were employed in numerous positions. Many former personnel who still live in the Midlands will attend the 70th anniversary celebration on Dec. 3 at the South Carolina Aeronautics Hangar near Columbia Metropolitan Airport. William Hamson, who enlisted in Boston, considered himself lucky to have

Help restore the B-25

The bases reputation was built on the wings of the B-25 bomber aircraft. Six years ago a B-25 was pulled from Lake Murray and now is on exhibition at the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Ala. In this region the largest icon remaining to represent this historic chapter in South Carolinas history is a rare B-25C that ditched into Lake Greenwood on D-Day and was brought up nearly four decades later. It returned to Columbia, where most of its service record accrued, in time to be a focal point for two Doolittle Raiders Reunions, in 1992 and again in 2002. Late last year the Mitchell bomber was saved from being sold to out-of-state interests when the S.C. Historic Aviation Foundation (SCHAF) formed to protect and restore it; the aircraft now is located at the Curtiss Wright Hangar at Hamilton Owens Airport. Since late 2010 SCHAF has held several events to enlighten the public about the planes importance and to raise money for its restoration. To help or learn more, go to www. scHistoricaviation.org

to the main post office in Columbia. A couple of days a week, and especially on pay days, he was sent out to the bases post office to assist with the demand for mail orders to send money home. Price was so inspired by watching planes take off and land he applied for and was accepted as an aviation cadet. Sent for training to several bases in the West, he went on to fly more than 40 combat missions in B-24 bombers. Leo Redmond, curator of the Cayce Historical Museum, recalls his fathers stories on serving as a civilian fireman on base. All the firemen were on call 24 hours a day. They took turns cooking for the entire crew. The firemen looked forward to my dads turn because he was the best cook. His specialty was steak and gravy. Harold Jones, who now operates a business situated on former air base property, grew up on Frink Street near the Cayce railroad tracks that conveyed supplies and equipment to the base. Jones and his young buddies picked up coal that rumbled off the train cars and took it home to help keep their families warm in winter. Bobby Douglas father, an electrician on construction jobs before the war, oversaw a work detail comprised of German POWs held on the base. He took them around the area to do various jobs and took them back at the end of each workday. The prison camp was behind the site of Airport High School. The base closed soon after WWII ended. Today the base site is home of Columbia Metropolitan Airport. Rachel Haynie is a Midlands freelance writer.

Columbia Army Air Bases biggest mission

Still best known as a starting point for one of aviation historys most daring missions the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo the air base welcomed Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle Feb. 3, 1942, to recruit volunteers for a top secret mission. All volunteered; from those, 24 crews were picked and moved swiftly to Eglin Field in Pensacola, Fla., to begin specialized training within a tighter security environment. The only Columbian who flew into history as one of Doolittles Raiders was Horace Crouch (1918-2005) who returned to his hometown with his squadron that had been flying submarine patrols off the Oregon coast. He often said he was surprised by the orders; there had not been an airbase here when he left for Oregon.
