One last re-up on the 5 year anniversary of the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII.

My final words on the project can be found at replies #95 and #130.

I liked having a foot in two different time periods so much I dove in and started a Civil War 160 years later project. It's coming along nicely with the approach of the 1860 election. It promises to be eventful. I have a new ping list that includes many alumni from WWII +70 years and a lot of new friends. Let me know by post or private reply if you want to jump on board. It promises to be an exciting 5 years.

An interesting aside can be found in column #1. Massive traffic jams were expected at the end of the Labor Day Holiday.

Gas rationing was, by now, a distant memory, and a lot of people got their cars off the cinder blocks and headed... anywhere!

We were poised for the greatest economic boom in world history. If you survived the war, it was a great time to be alive.

Even if you couldn’t find a place to live.

I’m thinking of leaving the present entirely and falling back to 1860. It has to be less stressful.

When I click on the photos of the newspapers I get “album is private” or word to that effect.

keep me on your WWII ping list.
I enjoyed it the first time thru and I am positive I’ll enjoy your follow up.

My Dad served in the Pacific theatre so I have a special interest.

I absolutely loved your WWII in “real tome.”

I was amazed at how much peopke were told in the papers and how respectfully the paper treated Hitler.

Watching it unfold was truly awesome. Thanks for the ping back to the trailer.
