Living with One's Past
Alcoholism, major depression, debilitating shyness or extreme anxiety may all lead to personal failings and even moral wrongdoing that we can neither explain nor ignore.

The Army Air Corps: Branch Immaterial
W. G. Bonvouloir received greetings from the government in August 1941. He said to his wife, Nancy, "Don't worry. I'm thirty-six, married with three children, and I'm overweight. They won't take me." Surprise! They have raised the weight limit for thirty-six year olds. "You're in. Congratulations, Captain." So begins the saga of his WWII experience. He always maintained that "Those who stand and wait also serve." This exemplified our mom. She stood and waited and raised three young girls, served with the GI Joe wives and kept the home fires burning. Dad wasn't present physically, but he was always there. Mom made sure we knew that.
