Is it time to get up yet?

No, it's not.
The kitties are telling me that.

Always listen to the kitties.

Winning on a cool breezy Saturday morning.

On this day in 1944, my father was working at the Norgren(sp?) plant in Milwaukee, making torpedo tubes for destroyers and PT boats. He was medically disqualified from enlisting, due to a skin condition. That issue cleared itself later in 1944, and he was allowed to enlist in January 1945, serving as a Machinist's Mate on the fleet oiler USS Aucilla (AO-56) in the Pacific.

I have taken scans of many of my fathers old pictures.

Looking through them I discovered this just dated June 44



He is second from the right.

He flew on Wellingtons.

He will be 91 next month.

Yer welcome Lynn.

That was for My Brothers wedding, Grandma wasn't there, She and Granddad didn't get along, She slept in the Master bedroom, He slept in a Shed, at least until Dad moved out, then He got the bedroom over the Garage, which was/is a seperate building from the house. My 3 cousins weren't there either and I now know why, Mom would have divorced Dad in a heartbeat had She known what My cousins knew, and then been timid on child support, as She later was. The fissures were there...

Oh and Pat was 5'11" tall, Dad and Granddad were 6'1" tall.

Now that horse will be put out to pasture, the rest, will probably be put down..
