Well after watching the Ken Burns series THE WAR ad naseum ad naseum,
I thought I'd come into the group today with one of my curious questions.

What did your parents, family, etc. do in the big WWII.

Mine worked at the Canada Car foundry in what was then called
Fort William, Ontario.

They were inspectors helping to make Hawker Hurricanes and later other
types of figthers including the Curtis Helldiver.

How about your folks.....

I must have some young parents. Both my parents were still in school. Dad
graduated high school in 1948, and joined the USAF about 1950. Dad was in the
pipeline to go to Korea as an F84 pilot when the Armistice happened.
