My dad served with Company "H" from Washington in the 28th Division.  It 
never ceases to amaze me that he was 28 years old when we invaded France 
through the Normandy coast and 30 when he was finally shipped home after VE 
Day.  He rode the Washington interurban from Pittsburgh to Washington as the 
final leg of that journey.  If it were not for Truman, he was going to have 
to go across the Pacific to invade Japan.

Some of my happiest times come from playing Santa at PTM.  I never had 
children, so it was joy; most of the time.  I knew to never promise 
anything, unless their mom was nodding to me as I listened to the child. 
The saddest was a request from a little girl who told me all she wanted from 
Santa was to have her parents get back together after a divorce.

Having spent 33 years working with young adults, I know they can bring 
intense joy and intense sorrow.

Remember the song, "Letter from Camp?" sung by Allen Sherman to the tune of 
The Dance of the Hours?  Life is good, sometimes it just takes a little 
time.  If it is not good, get off you butt and fix it.
