Celebration of Reconciliation

Manfred Kramer was a nine-year-old boy living in Krefeld, Germany, when Tom Lane and his crew bombed the city in 1943. Long after the war, Kremer emigrated to Canada and became a professor at the University of Guelph, where Tom also taught. Manfred contacted Ian after reading a story Ian wrote about Tom's bombing raid. Tom and Manfred had a chance to shake hands at the Guelph reception for Amazing Airmen on May 16, 2010.

Read about Manfred's and Tom's experience in The Record.
