SO WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS DO IN THE BIG WAR
Eric added these comments in the current discussion du jour ...
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. "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..... -- HP, aka Jerry |
