Mike .... thanks .. 

Living through the war ... 4 years ... from 9 to 13 years old .. all the young men from our neighborhood gone ... some never returned .... 

My father and uncles worked in the shipyard in Quincy Ma... 13 days straight.... then one day off ....3 shifts around the clock ....... for 4 years ... 

.... rationing of every thing....gas 6 gallons a week ... all food ... meat .....milk .. tires ... shoes ... oil or coal to heat your home ... a 9 year old with no bubble gum for 4 years !! 

It affected how I lived and thought for my whole life ... conserve everything ...waste nothing.....anything breaks ... fix it ..... .. wear it out ... do without ....
