The greatest generation
I think this thread existed before, but I can not find it.
I am passing on the sad news that my Dad is not expected to live too much longer. Born in a small town in Pennsylvania in 1923, he and his family survived the Great Depression. My Grandfather, Andy, was a policeman. Many times he was paid in groceries vs. money.
Dad joined the US Navy after Pearl Harbor. He was assigned to anti-sub patrol out of FLorida. THen, toward the end of the war, he was training to be a carrier pilot for the invasion of Japan.
As he sails into whatever lies on the other side, help me wish him smooth sailing and calm seas.
