My dad lived to a healthy one hundred and one years and playing his beloved violin to a couple of days before he passed away------ I am trying to keep up this family tradition. This is the year 2010 and this coming June, I will be arriving at 86 years of age. My story is briefly covering lightly, my last two years of high school indicating how the approaching war was affecting our thoughts regarding our future lives or if we might actually have a future life------and the possibility that there would be no future lives for so many of our young men and women. Then again briefly to Business College, the-----Bay Pathe Institure of Commerce----- which was cut short when “Uncle Sam” notified me, sort of inviting me to join him in the War-----OK, they drafted me-----to stop both Germany and Japan in their attempt to more or less take over the world. Fortunately, I returned from the war in good condition unlike so many thousands tat returned maimed and broken or their lives were cut short in their young years and never did return except in a casket. My cousin, Chester’s life was cut short on the very last day of the war, in Regensburg, Germany and is buried in a military cemetery in North Western France. Life is a precious gift and it’s terrible shame to have it wasted just because some people want to gain control over more people.visualizza meno
