Chattanooga Carl Drake is my brother. We both served in the U.S.Navy. He was a bombadier on a B-25 in the Navy Air Force. I was a seaman aboard the U.S.S. Fergus in the South Pacific. Our mother was a Godly mother who prayed for her boys every morning and every night. I think it was the prayers of this Godly mother that brought her two boys home where they heard the gospel preached and became believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. So when I look at the gravesite of my brother, I know that his soul and spirit, the real Carl, are with the Lord in heaven where one day I too will be joined with him again.
If you're ever in Chatanooga, let me reccommend the Acropolis Restaurant to you. Good Greek food and prepared just right.
Brian Drake Brian is my nephew. He is the one, who twelve or thirteen years ago, climbed up that mountain through the briars, vines, brush, trees to find Benjamin's gravesite long before it was cleaned up. Of course his wife Annette trudged up that mountain with him.
Evelyn Drake This is Carl's wife and widow. A very strong Christian lady.
Zetta Drake This is my wife saying, "Don't take my picture."
