Pam, interesting you mention Germany, I just sold an old letter from WW2 on eBay written by a soldier who was in Germany, and spoke of visiting several big cities, but all of them were pulverized. In spite of the bad that some Germans did, I'm sure there were many who were wonderful people caught up in the mess. Oh well, on to making and thinking of happier memories! Thanks for the visits, Eileen and Pam,

I remember the riots of the 60's and how I felt unsafe. The assasinations of the Kennedy's was another hard time. I don't remember the air raids, though. That must have been terrible for you. I'm just thankful that we don't live in Germany during WW2 and how hard life was for those people. Those were unsettling times. I remember the riots of the 60′s and how I felt unsafe.

I recall having the doomsday drills and diving under our desks at school putting our hands over our heads. As if that would save us from anything! It is frightening to contemplate all the mess the world is in. For that reason, I'm very careful about watching or reading the news. Just too depressing and frightening for most of us to handle on a day-to-day basis. However, I do believe in the great source of comfort. Thanks for the reminder!
