Waist gunner Arvin Halbach was my next door neighbor. He never spoke of the war and I never knew of his airman duty, waist gunner position or his POW status until much later. Arvin was a gentle man, a cheesemaker by trade, and a true gentleman. I couldn’t ask for a better neighbor. He passed on Oct. 4, 2006, at age 84. I understand from other neighbors that he was upset that he couldn’t care for his wife, who suffered from a debilitating disease. Arvin had heart trouble. I wish I had known and could’ve helped.
