"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Sharp.


Don Pullan is quick to admit he can’t remember quite as well as he once did.

“I have good days and I have bad days,” he says with that air of what-are-you-going-to-do acceptance men tend to acquire when their next birthday will be their 98th.

But if he can’t always immediately tell you what he had for breakfast, his recall of 77 years ago is as sharp as ever.

On June 10, 1944, Cpl. Pullan, of Salt Lake City, Utah, landed on Utah Beach as part of the D-Day invasion.
