Not sure if it was a real farm, but he did have to milk a goat....

If he had a goat .. it's a farm to me

Sweet Dreams Mom ..

[Mo1]

The middle girl sure has a look in her eyes, I'll bet she is a hoot

[westmex]

A fine looking family..That is how I remember people looking and dressing back then....A lot different than today.....

.......Westy......

[Mo1]

I'd still bet on the scenario I told you before...

Makes sense to me .. I keep asking my mom, but she doesn't know anything about it ..

[westmex]

Have you been able to run down any of your Dad's Army buddies or guys in the same outfit?

.......Westy......

[ValerieUSA]

That's my Aunt Bonnie. She was widowed a year after I was and has remarried and says she is the happiest she's ever been in her life.

I've been able to find some guys from the 69th Division and I've been able to locate some from the 271st, but no one from his platoon

And I haven't been about to locate anyone from Esler Field. I haven't really had time lately to research any further, and I'm not sure in what direction to go regarding his time at Esler Field

Oh well .. I'll figure it out sooner or later

[westmex]

Do any of them recall guys being recalled from the Air Corp as replacements? It might be a tuff nut to crack it's been so long ago...I do wish you the very best of luck in your search.....

.......Westy......

[Mo1]

To be honest, I don't know.

I do know that when the Army brought the 69th Division back, that my father volunteered to go with them. My grandfather was a member of the 69th during WWI.

But the 69th wasn't brought back till 1943 and dad joined in 1942

[westmex]

Have you talked to anyone at the American Legion or VFW? A lot of records got burned up a few years back, but they may have some ideas...Won't hurt to ask around....

.....Westy.....

[Mo1]

I never thought of them .. thanks I'll give it a try.

I was thinking about contacting my one Uncle. He was married to my mother's sister and I'm not sure if he'll know anything, but I figure it's worth a try.

[Mo1]

Well I'm heading off to bed .. The news out there is the SOS ..

Sweet Dreams Y'all

[westmex]

Sorry, I got involved in something else and left you dangling....How about a pic to make up??

Newberry Creek

[Mo1]

[lodwick]

Gorgeous pics guys, thanks.

Glad to see that you survived the "new dude" evening Gran: did he?

Good morning everyone.

Still sunny here, and my back is going on me..

Al had to dig a whole new garden because of Dyan giving him four tomato plants last night for his birthday. Now.. these are not just ordinary tomato plants.. Her neighbor Artie across the street got these seeds in Italy from his family home years and years ago. He keeps the seeds every year, and his backyard if filled with them. They are really very special, and I will have to know how he keeps his seeds, etc.

He puts them about a foot and a half apart and the stakes are 12 feet high. He has to use a ladder to get them at the end of the season.. He probably has eight rows wide and 15 to 20 deep. It's a sight to see around August, I'll tell you. We are going to have to baby these Babies.. ;)

Loddy, we had a great time last night. I never laughed any more in a restaurant in my life. We had a nice private table in a corner, with the big high back tropical chairs, and most of us had a wonderful thick Prime Rib, with mashed potatoes, and grilled mixed veggies.. Needless to say, we had enough to drink too. I am olived out.. lol.

Dyan's "friend" is very nice looking and has a terrific personality. We all meshed really well..and the "Maine" jokes were flowing between he and Al. Ghod, he told a really funny one, and I have to try and remember for you Loddy.... It was new to me and a pissa.. I'll see if Al remembers it.. There were just too many told, and by the time I heard this one I was on my last drink.. :(

I don't have to worry about Dan, he fits into this family like a glove..;)
