A little something I ran across
Watch lost during WWII returned to owner in Illinois


August 31 2003

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Jim Hoel is very glad to have his watch back, even though it has stopped working since he last saw it -- during World War II.

The last time he remembers wearing the old Gallet chronometer was on May 17, 1943, the day he used it while navigating a B-26 Marauder before the bomber was forced to ditch in a canal in the Netherlands.

The watch arrived at his home this past week in a package sent from England by a truck driver who found it in the possession of a neighbor.

The watch bore Hoel's name and Evanston address on its back.

Cooper was able to track him down at his new address using the Internet and friends who had contacts in the United States.

Good morning Samwise!! Yup, I think it was the Hobbit hole. It didn't start out as a joke, but has ended up that way. Nice hole under the tree.

We have some things in our history that we should be ashamed of. No country or people are perfect. We're still the best this planet has to offer.

The "good side of the Net". Thanks for sharing this story with us, brought a big smile to my face. It'd be interesting to know how the watch ended up in England.

We've been sprucing up our hole. Hubby is building shelves in the garage to tidy up the clutter. I'm kinda glad he is being slow--I'm the one who has to paint them when they're done.

Sometimes sleep eludes us I guess. Sam, you need to sleep more hours. Being a Guardian Wolf is tough work. :-)

Thought for the day : "Faith is like radar that sees through the fog."

I like this thought. Thanks Valin.

It is a good sleeping temp for sure. I awoke around seven and felt the cool air and crawled back in the sack.

Samwise Jr. told me that most people spend 30 years of their lives sleeping.
