good read !

page 8, it says the documentary including filming of his visit is...

"The documentary is for in-house purposes and there are no plans to make it public"

-uhhhh what's the deal with  that ?  am I missing something ?

Perhaps it is too emotional experience for him to release it in public...

Good article. I didn't look hard, but it would be really interesting to see him at 17, if any photos exist.

It did not say.  It only mentioned that he was a signalman.
