My dad returned home in June of 1945, met my mother and they were married in 
the Jefferson Avenue Methodist Church in Washington in August.  Talk about 
getting along with your life.  My brother was born in 1950 when they lived 
in Versailles and I did not come along until 1953.   By that time our home 
was in Liberty Boro.

My father had a V-mail that his father had sent just before the end of the 
war where he stated he felt it was a mistake for us to let the Germans take 
Berlin and it would probably lead to problems.

Many young children (and dogs) do not take kindly to beards.  I have sported 
one since 1977 and have had varying results with the nieces and nephews.  I 
never had a child pull my beard when I was Santa at PTM.

What killed the trolley?  Cheap cars and cheap gas.  No collusions, no 
backroom politicking, just a desire for people to feel independent.

Yes John, we have several tunes in our quintet book from the 40's.  Beside 
the wedding stuff and the Christmas stuff, we also have a pretty broad range 
of popular music from the Civil War to the present.  Right now the folder 
has about 175 or so tunes.
