"SHIVER ME TIMBERS" wrote in message

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.....

My dad continued farming (I remember the German POWs coming to hoe the sugar
beets) and mom continued as a 1st-6th grade teacher. Had an uncle that flew
B-25s, B-26s, and 'birddogs' for OSS in China/Burma theater.
