I was going to write you, via the notification box, on another subject that I will do shortly.
However, your reference to WWII really surprised me on a subject that has an incredible eternity to those men women and children who had been involved.

To wit: On Sunday, December 7, 1941, it was 5:30 P. M. Kenny G. [[Seventh Grader) and I, [[Eighth Grader) were returning home from the Roosevelt Theater
Sunday Matinee. We were walking on McClellan. in front of the new Nativity
Activities Bldg. The Free Press boy had an 'extra' out, telling us about Japan bombing Pearl Harbor. I told Kenny that a War would last maybe 2 or 3 weeks. We had no idea of what had happened.

Lowell, I will make an attempt to tell you how a 13 year old boy, from the "Silent Generation," matured.
