I had the honor of working with Col. Lakner for about five years when we both worked for the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania in Altoona Pa.  Our offices were at 3615 Beale Avenue.  Fred was a Construction Foreman for the Altoona District, and I was a Claims Represenative for 13 Counties.  Fred was highly respected as a war hero.  Look around, you never know who is walking among you.  I was fortunate to know Fred, and a few other war heros.  We would not be speaking English now if it were not for them.
