Favorite WWII movies
My three are the common Twelve O'clock High, Best Years of Our Lives and especially The Battle of San Pietro.

We told time by what was on the radio in those days and dinner lasted from Gene Autry through the Falcon, The Saint, Nick Carter, and...- Merrill Wayne B

Laid Off...
Sorry Liz. It seems the world doesn't cater to real talent anymore. I have read everything you have written and have really enjoyed it. I went through the same thing a few years ago and everything turned out for the better. During my darkest days I listened to early episodes of "The Romance of...- Merrill Wayne B
