This week's cover story on Tommy Carr's model of the Tupelo Lass gave me an opportunity to look back at a Neighbors story I wrote 10 years ago on Jake Epting and the B-24 bomber that bore his hometown's name. The Tupelo Lass flew numerous missions over Europe in World War II.

For a history lesson on Epting and his "Lass," click the link for a revised version of the 1999 story. http://nems360.com/bookmark/3514611
