Danb Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Bob...my dad was from Worcester Ma and would have been 92. Hmmm Quote
Bob_Belville Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Dan, George grew up on Steele Street in Quinsigamond Village. He met my mother in law while recuperating in an Oklahoma City Naval hospital in 1945. He brought her back to his mother's home in Worcester where his job at Norton Company was waiting. They moved down the street a couple of blocks when Nancy was 10. He retired more than 30 years ago but never moved. Different times. His widow still lives there though we'll pick her up @ Thanksgiving and she'll be with us, at least through this winter. Sadly, she won't fly. Quote

bonal Posted November 11, 2014 Report Posted November 11, 2014 Just now watching the laying of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. When my wife and I traveled to DC we spent the afternoon at Arlington Cemetery and watched the changing of the guard we were both very moved by the experience. 1 Quote
