They will probably see them now. The Blue Angels there did kind of bother me.
I spent a year of Saturday afternoons helping Veterans at the Reno area Veterans Hospital in 1977-1978. There were mostly WWI men there in their 70s and 8Os and one Spanish American War fighter about 100 years old.
I drew portraits of them from photos taken by a very talented photographer and they hung these in the hall outside of their rooms. And then they hired a University of Nevada Reno art major to complete representations of patients after I had left.
