My eyes! How can I ever un-see that?
I have to tell you...she was kind of a “legend”, apparently there have been many iterations of this woman on this particular wall in Naples since the US Navy had a presence there after WWII, all named “Humpty Dumpty” by the sailors.
I had seen her so many times on the bus to and from Fleet Landing that I didn’t even notice her after a while.
Over the years, I completely forgot what she looked like, but I always laughed remembering the sailors talking about Humpty Dumpty”.
Then one day on Free Republic, the subject of liberty in Naples came up, and some one posted a picture of her they had taken, and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it! It WAS her!
