If an Army Air Corp brat, the city doesn’t mean much. My Grandad was a navy lifer, so Mom was born in Norfolk, but unless the people who crawled out of the Arkansas hills were from Roanoke (a theory that has been floated), we had no connection with there. That said, when Mom asked if she might join the Society of the Native Oregon Born with an allowance for military service, her membership was refused on the sound grounds that Grandad should have sent Grandma back home for the birth.

I can’t imagine your Dad liking the degeneration of writing that the internet spawns.

I’m sure he saw plenty of horrid writing over the years The Internet just puts it in lights. My first course at SWOCC was WR 121. Some of the MHS grads in it were barely literate.
