RW>RN> You remember no A/C?
 
RW> AC was only at the movie theaters.
 
That's a fact!
 
RW>RN> Guys selling from push carts in the neighborhood?
 
RW> No, but I remember the Fuller Brush man.
 
We brushed those guys off.
 
RW>RN> Getting into a movie by bringing an aluminum item with you as the
RW>RN> entrance fee?
 
RW> Nope...they only wanted silver...:o)
 
If you had enough silver, you could have bought the theater.  During that
war, there was a big demand for aluminum in our area.
 
RW> I had a welder in my shop who survived Pearl. He was on board the battle
RW> ship shoreside to the Oklahoma and spent a few days on the OK's hull,
RW> trying to burn a hole in it with a plasma cutter. No success. He
RW> witnessed the Japanese surrender on the USS Missouri in 1945.
 
That was a memorable event for him.  I'm still in awe of what the late
actor Eddie Albert did at Tarawa.  He saved about 70 wounded Marines by
dragging them from the water to shore all the time the Japs were shooting
at him.  As for me, I was overjoyed it was all over (finally).
 
RW> They may have.
 
I can't find a silver one, but I'm still looking.
