The history most of us know
about World War II mainly comes
from books and glamorous images
we see in Hollywood movies. But
for Donna Hurt, her knowledge
of that war comes from many
pieces of a puzzle that came to-
gether in an emotional reunion
just recently.
The story starts out in Decem-
ber of 1943, in Anzio, Italy when
Larry Carastro met Adrian Dor-
sey Cooper when they first went
to war. Staff Sgt. Carastro, with
the 15th Air Force, 2nd Bomber
Group and 49th Squadron and a
native from Tampa, was a waist
gunner. Cooper, known as “Coop”
to his friends was the pilot of the
B-17 Carastro was gunning for.
They became instant friends, con-
fiding in each other about every
asset of life back home. Cooper
told Carastro the exciting news of
the birth of his baby girl when he
found out through a letter from
his wife. Carastro said Cooper was
so happy to get home and meet
his new daughter.
Sadly, he would never get to
meet her. On February 17, 1944,
when Cooper’s daughter was five
weeks old, they were flying just
three miles into their mission
when they were hit with German
flak. The plane was split down the
middle, like slicing a banana in
half long ways.
Carastro remembers falling out
of the plane and releasing his para-
chute. He was not sure if he land-
ed on allied or enemy ground. He
had a glimmer of hope when he
saw a figure in the distance think-
ing the man could help him. But
when he got closer to him, Caras-
tro recognized the square helmet
Lauren Jones/The Nassau News
of a German soldier. He was hold-
ing a rifle and said to Carastro, in
his dark German accent, “For you,
the war is over.”
Carastro was captured and be-
came a POW. After a few days, he
heard from the other soldiers cap-
tured in the camp with him who
flew next to him, that Cooper
had died when his B-17 was shot
down. The pilots of those planes
were so precise in their formations
that they were close enough to see
Cooper hunched over in his pilot
seat as the plane was going down.
Carastro was held as prisoner for
14 months. He marched over 300
miles and lost 50 pounds.
“All we could talk about was the
food we were going to eat when
we got out,” Carastro said. He says
most men in a war talk about the Adrain Dorsey Cooper, a B-17 pilot
pretty girls back home. But they in WWII was on his 50th mission
when his plane was shot down on

Carroll says since the Fernandina shop had been open in 2007, they
have dipped berries each Valentine’s Day and it is their most popular
product for the holiday.
She has men come in who want a certain number of dipped ber-

dark and white chocolate and Carroll can package them however the
customer desires.

Frank Frye
Frank Frye, 46, of Nassauville
passed away Monday morning,
February 8 at Shands Hospital
from injuries sustained in an ac-
cident in Fernandina Beach last
Friday. He was born in San Diego,
CA and moved to the Fernandina
Beach-Yulee area from Jackson-
ville. He was of the Pentecostal
Faith. Frank never met a stranger.
He was a happy person who was
always giving and caring for oth-
ers. He loved reading the Bible and
walking. He will be missed by his
family and so many others. Frank
was predeceased by his father,
Leon Muncy and a brother, Rob-
ert Wayne Frye. Survivors include
a son, Franklin Charles “Charlie”
Rape of Temple, GA; his moth-
er, Mary Muncy of Fernandina
Beach; two brothers, David Lee
Frye of Darmouth, MA and Steven
“Chris” Frye (Jennette) of Jackson-
After a whole season of lead-up, the Saints have
won the Super Bowl. That was a good thing at our
house, but the members of our family who live in
Indiana, the home of the Colts, were not nearly as
excited as we were. We did not call or e-mail them
after the game to rub it in. But
inherent in our celebrating was
the confidence that our team
had won and theirs had lost.
So much of our interaction
with others is that way. Good
real estate deals continue to be
available to some because oth-
ers couldn’t pay for them. If
I’m able to haggle a car sales- Pastorally
man into a bargain, I feel like
I’ve won and he’s lost. Some-
Speaking
times this kind of competitive Rev. Bob Phelps
thinking even gets into our
church and spiritual lives. Numbers are important
to all kinds of ministry (whether we like to admit
it or not), but numbers are not always the surest
indicator of either faithfulness or diligence. Even
so, there is something in most of our churches that
wants to be bigger because we believe, at some lev-
el, that bigger is better. Some individuals believe
that the absence of conflict or illness or the pres-
ence of wealth or stability indicates God’s blessing.
Others who can’t seem to get a break trust in the
mercy of God in the midst of their struggles.
Our faith in God intends to transform our un-
derstanding of our experience in the world. Paul
encouraged the Romans and all of us who con-
tinue to read his words not to be conformed to
this world, but to be transformed by the renew-
ing of our minds. Transformation is hard work at
any level. Transforming a house into a home is not
easy. Transforming street after street of disconnect-
ed homes and neighborhoods into a community
is not easy. Transforming our thinking so that it
reflects God’s values instead of our own is not easy.
But transformation is one of the benefits of faith-
ful living.
A mind and heart transformed by faith in Christ
doesn’t have to think in terms of winners and los-
ers. Athletic imagery can be helpful on our journey
of faith. The same Paul who encourages us to ex-
perience transformation talks about running races
and finishing courses along the way to the goal of
being transformed. Coming to terms with win-
ning and losing is a part of athletic competition. It
need not be a part of living faithfully and sharing
our faith with others.
When it comes to faith in God, everybody
can win. Those who seek and find wholeness
may never find their way into my congregation
or tradition. That’s not the point. The point is
that we all discover God’s grace and the power it
has to change us from what we are into what God
alone knows we can be. If that means people find
their way into my flock, that’s wonderful. But if
it means they find meaning and purpose for their
lives in another tradition, I haven’t lost, and they
have still won.
The world in which we live will continue to
have winners and losers. A big part of the work of
the Church is to help everyone become a winner,
to create opportunities for people to experience
God’s grace and the transformation it can bring
to our lives. The goal is to help people be in that
number when the real saints go marching in, not
to look back on those left behind and taunt and
jeer because we won and they lost. When peo-
ple find God as a source of new life, we all win.
Thanks be to God!

Reunion Cont. from page 1
just wanted good food.
As soon as he got out and came back to the states, he set out to find his best friend’s wife and
new baby girl. But because they moved and she took a different name when her husband was
killed, he didn’t find them.
In the 1980s when Carastro talked to other veterans about his war experience, he started
having dreams about Cooper. In one, Carastro said he saw Cooper and he talked to him.
“I’m here. That was all a mistake,” Cooper said to him in his dream. “He was there talking
to me,” Carastro recalled.
Carastro moved on, but thought of Cooper frequently. He has a daughter of his own, Con-
nie Darby, who he now lives next to in Fernandina Beach.
In 2006, Darby was helping her father look for this mysterious baby girl. She somehow
wanted this story to have a happy ending, or some kind of ending at all. Darby thought she
had to be out there somewhere. So she took it on as her mission to find this girl. “I just started
wondering what happened to that baby girl,” Connie Darby said.
Donna Hurt, from North Carolina put information about her dad that she had learned
about through her mother, her father’s letters to his parents and the knowledge she researched
throughout her life about the war on a website. One month later, Cararstro’s daughter found
that information.
“That’s got to be her,” she remembered thinking with excitment.
She contacted her and found out she was that baby girl they were looking for. Hurt talked
to Carastro on the phone and they arranged to meet.
“Half of those days we cried and the other half we got to know each other,” Hurt said.
On Friday, February 5 at the Fernandina Beach Airport, an exact replica of that B-17 was
parked for guests to tour the inside of and learn about the missions like the ones Carastro
experienced. It was a rainy and windy day, close to the anniversary of his best friend’s death
as Carastro, his daughter Darby and that baby girl, who is now a grandmother, were there to
meet for the second time.
Hurt said meeting Carastro was like the last piece of the puzzle being put together. She had
read the letters her grandparents had kept from her father who wrote to them even before she
was born. She said that’s how she really got to know him and what was in his heart. Her mother
saved a few mementos and photos as well.
“It’s like turning back the pages of history of that fateful day,” Carastro said as he looked at
the replica of the B-17.
“It is really emotional for me to sit up in that plane where my dad sat,” Hurt said as she sat
in the pilot seat of the B-17.
She says that even though there are numerous controls in that plane and that her father was
in control of that plane the day he died, she knows ultimately God was in control. She is sad
that she never got to know her father, but is eternally grateful for meeting Carastro and of their
time together. She says she calls him every year on Febraury 17.

Celebration!
“That’s our day,” Hurt said.

Valentine’s Day Cont. from page 1
She also has customers come in and buy
her chocolate covered popcorn in bulk so
they can ship it to their families who live up
north and do not have a Peterbrooke near.
Another popular Valentine’s Day product
is their chocolate covered wine bottle. A cus-
tomer brings in their own bottle of wine and
it is covered in a plastic wrap and dipped in
the chocolate tempering machine. It is left to
dry for 30 minutes, dipped a second time,
and decorated with more chocolate drizzle.
Carroll then wraps it with plastic and ties
it with a bow. The idea is the customer can
pull down the under layer of plastic and the
chocolate falls off in pieces. Then they can
have chocolate and wine.
Flowers are always something that the
women love. Callahan Flowers on New
Ogilvie Road delivers for free within the city
limits on Valentine’s Day. They are a family
owned business and have been open for the
past seven years.
They have fresh red roses, mixed bouquets,

employees at his office.
“He is a busy man, so it is my responsibil-
ity to remind him of his order,” McAninck
said.
She says the economy hasn’t affected her
business. Her husband owns Callahan Funer-
al Home and they sell funeral flowers as well.
She says they might not be as busy as the
previous Valentine’s days because the holiday
falls on a Sunday this year. But she has al-
ready had numerous orders placed.
Shannon Keith, an employee with Dottie
B. Florists in Fernandina Beach on Ash Street
says there is always romance, no matter who
places an order on Valentine’s Day. She can
not remember a specific story, but that they
are all full of love.
They offer candy, teddy bears, balloons and
gift baskets with snacks, as well as the tradi-
tional flowers.
Like Callahan Flowers, they don’t expect
to be as busy as they would be if Valentine’s
Day was on a weekday, since men like to have
flowers delivered to their significant others at

No fishing? No problem! BroWnie trooP 643

There are plenty of things to do outside while the fish aren’t biting.
If you read the last two months
worth of columns you hopefully will
have noticed one common thread: the
inshore fishing stinks. The unseason-
ably cold waters have caused the fish
to feed sporadically. The red fish have
been very finicky eaters and are very
hard to entice onto a hook. Even the
dependable winter bite of the trout
slowed down to a
near crawl.
This week
brought a small
glimpse at things
to come. The
trout finally start-
ed hitting top
water plugs again.
I caught several
trout over twenty
inches on a Skitter
Nassau
Walk right before Outdoors
sunset on two dif- Ryan Conner
ferent occasions.
The only problem is the trout season
is closed and will be for the remain-
der of the month. Release these fish as
quick as possible so we all can go back
in March and catch them again.
I saw several nice reds in shallow
water but could not get them to eat. I
threw everything but the kitchen sink
at them but had no response, besides
the cloud of mud they left. I did, how-
ever, talk with a few others who had
limited success with the red fish using
jerk baits while working them slowly
on the bottom.
That being said, my advice is to find
alternative outdoor activities for the
rest of this month. A good place to
start would be one of Nassau County’s
many beautiful parks. The parks are
a great place to relax with your family
or spend a few quality moments alone.
You also get a chance to see some of
your tax dollars work for a great cause.

Local politics are important too Financial gifts for

Created for civil and political purposes, acting under pow-
ers given to it by the state, our county, Nassau County, is a
political subdivision of the State of Florida.
The governing authority of Nassau County is the Nassau
County Board of Commissioners. There are five members of
the board, due to the county being di-
vided into five districts. They are elect-
ed by the citizens of Nassau County for
staggered four-year terms.
Two of which, will be in November
of this year.
The chairman and vice chairman of
the Board are elected by the board each
year.
There are general duties of the Board

the general health, safety, and welfare
Lamar Williams of the Nassau County residents; to levy
taxes financing the operation of our
county government; and provide services necessary to safe-
guard the well-being and safety of the residents of Nassau
County.
Remember, these are general duties; they do have more
defined duties as our elected officials.
Now that I’ve given a general background on what “Coun-
ty Commissioner” means, I would like to spotlight who our
members of the Board of Commissioners are.
For District One, which is Fernandina Beach, we have
Daniel B. Leeper. His term is Nov. 18, 2008-Nov. 19, 2012.
He can be reached on his county cell phone at 904-430-
3868.
For District Two, which is South Amelia Island, Nassau-
ville, and O’Neil, we have Michael H. Boyle. He is also Vice
Chairman. His term is Nov. 21, 2006-Nov. 16, 2010. He
can be reached on his county cell phone at 904-753-1409.
For District Three, which is Yulee, Chester and Blackrock,
we have Stacy T. Johnson. Her term is Nov. 18, 2008-Nov.
19, 2012. She can be reached on her county cell phone at

eral taxes and may also be exempt from state
and local taxes. (Municipal bonds may be
subject to the alternative minimum tax.)
• Help fund an IRA. If your valentine
has an IRA, he or she has chosen a good
vehicle in which to save for retirement. A
traditional IRA’s earnings grow tax deferred,
while a Roth IRA’s earnings can grow tax
free. (However, distributions from a Roth
IRA may be subject to taxes and a 10 per-
cent penalty if the account is less than five
years old and the account holder is under
age 59½.) While you can’t make a direct
contribution to someone else’s IRA, you can
write a check for that purpose. And it will
likely be appreciated, because many people
have trouble fully funding their IRAs each
year. (In 2010, the IRA contribution limit
is $5,000, or $6,000 if the IRA owner is
over age 50, although these limits may be
increased if they’re indexed for inflation.)
