We used to sing, "A tisket, a tasket, Hitler's in his casket, eeny meanie, Mussolini, he should be there,too" proving what one learns in school may not be true at all . . . . .

I don't remember much about it, Jack, because I was born two days before Pearl Harbor. I do recall that my mother saved the newspapers with news about the war. I was about the same age as you, come to think about it.
