Nice work Jim.

My Father was called in yet he was almost blind in one eye since birth all he was offered was to be a cook , instead he worked with his father maintaining military houses as a carpenter and was frozen in that job. All of the friends he had were either in the navy or army. He only talked about was being frozen in his job.

Jim, Derick, TonyKgull, RobertW, blues90, I was in the Navy from May 65, to Dec 10, 68...

My daddy was in the Navy and had a ship shot out from under him. An uncle, my step dad and my oldest son and my older brother were in the Navy. My step dad's brother suffered from PTSD, referred to as shell shock in his day. He managed to handle working for the RR the rest of his life, but, when I met him, he was very... reserved.

This photo, taken in 1943, is on the wall of my house. My dad is the soldier playing the button accordion. I have no idea who any of the other soldiers are or where the photo was taken and anyone who could tell me is long gone, but I love the photo. There are also a guitar and a banjolele player in the photo.
Dad did not talk about his time in the service.

Maggie's dad. All of the vetrans from Cannington, Ontario are honoured this way on the main street. Cannington is a small town between Wilfred and Woodville.
I never met Jack. He passed the year before I met Maggie.
