Approximately 40,000 German sailors served on U-boats during World War II. 30,000 never returned. It was one of the highest loss ratios of any service

Omigosh, I didn't know it was THAT bad! Your odds would have been better on the Russian front.

1951 "Amos 'n' Andy" premiers on CBS TV

I used to love the Amos and Andy Show. That Kingfish was such a schemer!

A great show indeed. :)

Not so sure I'm ready for Arnold as our next governor.

Howdy Victoria. Hope all is well.

Hi Dave! Good to see you.

I think Arnold would do a far better job than Davis. LOL, no one can do as bad as Davis.

What's even stranger was that the U-boats was a strictly voluntary service. From everything I read they never had a shortage of volunteers.I

I figure we need some good news, most of it out of Iraq has been depressing. They found the two missing soldiers dead.

Yes you're right, we need to hear good news. Of the two found dead, one of them is from here so there will be a lot of local coverage, too.

I hope it didn't put up too much of a struggle.
Thank you for finding it.

Thanks.
Been looking for something and I'm finding a whole lotta stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm looking for.
I hate web searches...
