good memories

I have told you how Dad shared stories, from the depression and WW II, with just about anyone who asked.  He wrote many of them down - some of which I will try to share in the time ahead of us.  Meanwhile one of the stories, in connection with Memorial Day, is about his brother George.

Uncle George was shot down, over France before D-Day, and reported as "missing in action."  From the first part of June until the end of August, when Paris was liberated, the family did not know what had happened.  The French Resistance found my uncle, a radio/navigator, and the pilot before the Germans did.  How they kept the two men safe is a story for another day.

The story for today is this story is one our family knows.  AND my aunt, the younger sister, heard from the family - in France - who had helped our Uncle (her oldest brother).  Our aunt stayed in touch with the family for many years.

What stories can you share?  What stories at least make you smile - if not laugh?
