More browsing. This is my Grandma Dodd. The
picture was taken right after the war. I was still
in my uniform. I went back to Ann Arbor to finish
my degree in Aeronautical Engineering. My folks
went to Florida for most of the winter, and my
Gramma. age 86. stayed in our house. I came
home some weekends. On one, Gramma handed
me a postage due slip from the post office, she
wouldn't pay for it! I went to the post office, and
retrieved the package.
While flying home from Italy, we landed at Natal
Brazil. We were going to post a guard, but the field
Super said no need, just check in our first aid kit,
had morphine in it, and my 45 Caliber revolver,
and pick it up the next morning before takeoff.
Of course, I forgot it. The Natal tower called me
on the radio, and assured me they'd send it along.
I forgot about it again, but guess what was in the
package, you guessed it, my 45, and 6 first aid
kits! 6 months and about 5 stops, and there
it was!

I was browsing through old pictures this
morning, and came across this one.
It is my beautiful daughter and our Grandson
Nathan. I won't tell you how old Deb is, but Nathan's
23. Posted by Picasa
This is the picture I wanted to post on the fourth
when I found I had been locked out of this
blog by a mistake neither my PHD daughter
or I could solve. But through a combined
effort, I'm back in business.
The scene is from our balcony in Cove Tower East,
fourth floor, looking directly South down the
Lake Worth Lagoon.
