My Dad lived in London during the Blitz, as did my mother, and I think that traumatized them both as children.<br /><br />Imagine, seven kids on an enlisted man's salary. That is pretty impressive! Do you have photos of your Dad in uniform?Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-78097596544939722502010-01-10T16:32:17.475-05:002010-01-10T16:32:17.475-05:00Nick, the page on your Dad is REALLY amazing!!

Thanks for sharing that link. It's fascinating. Your Dad was pretty darn awesome.<br /><br />I wish I could have met the people my Dad served with. You were so lucky (and smart) to attend that reunion.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-31137003625155112232010-01-07T09:08:34.059-05:002010-01-07T09:08:34.059-05:00Nice post.

Left the service after the war and re-enlisted in 1953 into the Logistics trade (Supply Technician). He retired in 1973. I'm still amazed at how he and my Mom managed to raise seven children on an enlisted man's salary!Two Minute Takeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00590884505960931744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-9753031073885613642010-01-06T22:36:52.968-05:002010-01-06T22:36:52.968-05:00Wow.

I am officially Impressed, all the way from my perch on the 40th floor of some hotel in Osaka, Japan.<br /><br />Please do me a favor and go to http://www.montrealfood.com/mosecrew.html to see what MY dad did . . . but YOUR dad did amazing things.<br /><br />I went, by myself, just because I wanted to, to a reunion of the people my father flew with, back in 2001. It was incredible . . .<br /><br />If your dad is still with us, congratulate him every day. If he isn't, congratulate him anyway.ChefNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506706291656673082noreply@blogger.com
