My father has a jeweled Gurkha knife given him by the commander of the troops guarding the airbase.

One day, he may tell me why he was given it.

I called my father and all he did was bring back two dozen eggs from China for the commander's pregnant wife.

The eggs cost him a dollar apiece in 1944.
