May 8, 2023 is the 78th anniversary of VE Day, the end of the long war in Europe (WWII fighting would continue in the Pacific).  My friend Jimmy McDowell, longtime Indianapolis broadcaster, was a medic stationed in Europe During the War.  He happened to be in London's Piccadilly Circus when news of VE Day broke, so he and his friends joined in the celebration...and it included a very unexpected sight.  My favorite part of a conversation we had in 2015.  Mr. McDowell died in October 2021 at the age of 99.
