Thank you! It was fun to read the piece again… and to remember having that conversation with my dad.
I followed that up with another Valentine’s Day piece about Aunt Lou and Uncle Howard. He contracted TB during the war, spent years in a sanatorium, and was saved by the discovery of streptomycin if so remember correctly.

I personally loved the “Rosie The Riveter” part and the way everyone naturally pitched in for the cause… Were those the “good ole days” everyone alludes to, or is it just a romanticized memory? 🤔
Interesting backgrounder on the “image.”
