I lost him when I was 7 and my grandfather when I was 43. My grandfather
never said anything other they worked for the "government."

I never found out exactly what my father did, other than he
and my grandfather were electricians for the "government" (as
they called it) in New Mexico during the last couple years of
the war. I have several pictures of them in the desert
without any sort of landmarks in the shots.

Eric, did you suffer the loss of your father either during the
war or when you were too young to remember his story?

My mother worked at a factory in Saint Louis, to this day, she
has never talked about it.

Well after watching the Ken Burns series THE WAR ad naseum ad
naseum, I thought I'd come into the group today with one of
my curious questions.

What did your parents, family, etc. do in the big WWII.

Mine worked at the Canada Car foundry in what was then called
Fort William, Ontario.

They were inspectors helping to make Hawker Hurricanes and
later other types of figthers including the Curtis Helldiver.

How about your folks.....
