We pulled over for the night at a truck stop on the north side of Tucson before making our way down to visit Marty Alkin. Marty is a very good friend of Nancy’s family. He moved to Tucson about 10 years ago and we haven’t seen him in a number of years. We all attended church service in the morning and spent the afternoon relaxing and listening to his war stories. Marty is a decorated WWII veteran. He was on the beaches of Normandy on D-day and, unlike a lot of veterans, is more than willing to tell you about it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Marty. He is great with kids and, although he’s slowing a bit now that he’s 89, he hung out with us all afternoon and did dinner with us – Texas Roadhouse again – in the evening. The kids had time to hit the pool at the RV park in the evening and again the next morning before we pulled out to head east.
