I can't imagine going<br />through what so many did, never seeing loved ones again and <br />being tossed from one place to another. How grand he and Art<br />continue to be close.

Ditto on the thanks for stopping by. :-) I asked one of my beta readers if it was silly, even after several edits, to tear up at a scene I'd written. She wisely replied, "Bruce, if you don't tear up, how can you expect your readers to?"

Sometimes I wonder if I was born one generation too late. :-) Not to glorify WWII, or candy coat what so many of my father's generation did--he was a radio operator in B-17s--but I love the optimism coming out of the Depression, and really love the music. :-) Bruce Judischhttp://www.brucejudisch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-47453963111599431522015-07-25T09:25:40.357-07:002015-07-25T09:25:40.357-07:00Thanks so much for the comment, Patricia.
