Have any of you who read my blog now and then read my profile?
If you don"t recognize some of the stuff I'll fill you in.

Mark is in town for an annual party and we finished three cross
word puzzles today. Missed one letter on one. Some kind of Spanish
name.

In the year 1944 we lived near an army base. There were several
civilians working in some position on the base. One of those was my
future sister in law. She worked in a place that served food and was
there late in the evening. There was some concern about her walking
to her car late at night. There was a big black soldier that started showing
up ever night and would stay around till closing time. At first if was a little
scary. However he walked her to her car ever night that she work there
to make sure she got there ok. 1944

After WW II my brother, Merle, had a restruant in the small town of
Vermont IL. In 1949, just before I went into the service, I was working
at the restruant. One night near closing time, Merle went out the front
door and found a black man sitting on the step. This was something that
never happen in Vermont that I knew about. He wanted to buy something
to eat so Merle invited him but he refused to enter. Merle work up an order
for him and he disappeared into the night. 1949

A family who had moved to the area shortly after the army base was build
had to depend on handouts from area farmers to survive. The husband had
skipped. There were four or five boys and the helped out by delivering papers
on the army base. One of the boys was so small that he had to drag his paper
bag. Each morning before he went to school he would go to the base to do his
job and each morning there was a big Sargent that woud be there to meet him.
The Sargent would pick him up in one hand and the paper bag in the other.
They would then go to the mess hall. The Sarge would deposit the papers
and a collection box at the entrance and take the boy and provide him with
a full breakfast. He would then advise the soldiers that no was to leave the
chow hall until the paper boys money box had the correct amount of money.

Album Cover --An untitled picture by Alex Soybel"s Photo Stream of
