The Collection
I have been an avid World War II historian since childhood. The first plane I ever saw, a Stearman, just riveted me with excitement and has never stopped. Today I own a 1944 Stearman just like the first one I saw. I have flown many different airplanes but the ones I have liked the most were the WWII vintage ones. I have many hours in a Stearman, T6, T28 and P51 Mustang.
Likewise, my office is covered wall to wall with historical depictions of the WWII experience. Each office is named after a famous pilot with paintings within that tell that soldier’s story. I had the pleasure to treat many of our WWII veterans over the years and took notes of their service and the marvelous stories they told of service to our nation.
There are over 75 paintings and nearly 100 models on display for the enjoyment of all who come to Spine Specialty Center. In addition, there are numerous artifacts on display as well. If for no other reason please come to ponder the collection and share stories of yourself or family that have served our country. All are welcome, they are here for everyone to enjoy.
