He was a hoot to listen to.
The really extended Goooooooooood Morning Viet Nam was used as a cover for running late and not having the records set up, headphones on, etc. It was hilarious to hear him tell it, then do it.
Hello everyone. Please forgive any possible breech in forum protocol, but I do not know where to post, or where to start, and thought this might be a good place.
My grandfather served in WWII and never talked about it much. From the little information I have received, I believe that he was sent as a replacement troop into the Battle of the Bulge near the end of the War. Even my father has few stories or details about my grandfather's service, and while my grandfather is still alive, I have never been able to retrieve this information from him, and he is now failing due to age.
I am wondering how I could go about finding out what division, etc., he was part of. I would really like to learn more about the role my grandfather played in the war - whatever little tidbit I can find. I do have a handful of old photos which he took while he was there, but it isn't much to go on. Luckily, my grandmother wrote little notes on the back of each photo upon his return, but nothing that indicates much to me.
Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated. Even if no one can help, I want you all to know that I love your site and what you are doing here.
Sincerly,
Mr. Stacy Snook

It's Pinewood Derby time. Last year was an SR-71. This year...
We're doing an APC. Sorta Strykerish, with the turret from a Merkava added for good measure.
We'd love to help. You have freep mail!
Thanks for the alert. You know me too well it seems. :-)
We look forward to the pictures. Sounds great.

Good morning everyone.
Chilly one out there today, 3 degrees at 8:45 am EST today-warming up into the 20s later on. Heat wave.
Hey, I know that place! :^)
Chilly morning. Perfect for hot cocoa and books! Bittygirl woke up this morning requesting waffles. So I made waffles. She was deeply upset when they didn't come out of the toaster, LOL. She had to actually wait for them to cook in the waffle iron, but it was worth it because I'd added candied fruit (cherries and blueberries) to the batter.
Oh what a GOOD mama you are, fresh waffles with fruit. I love waffles any time!!
Good eating is just worth waiting for. ;)
I wish I could have seen the look on Bittygirl's face! LOL
Only up to 68 down south. :-)
Hey this ol' Ohian has been there!
I remember taking my nephew to a restaurant, about Bitty Girl's age, maybe a little older. He wanted his food NOW. We had to explain that they had to cook it first, it wasn't a drive through!
