A Potsdam woman traveled to a small village in France to retrace her father&apos;s footsteps during World War Two.  Robin Collen&apos;s father, Leonard, served in the Army Air Corps.   When his plane was shot down over France, he parachuted to safety and was rescued by local villagers.As a child, Collen remembered tissue paper-thin air mail envelopes from France, and occasional war stories from her dad.   When her father died in 2000, he left behind a map and note about the experience and his French rescuers. A few years ago, after some web research, Collen says she was curious and determined to revisit her father&apos;s past.  She and her husband, Bruce, traveled to rural France to try to connect with one of the women who helped hide her father from the Nazis more than 60 years ago.    She wrote an essay to honor his experience and shared her thoughts with Todd Moe.
