And, the women were busy doing every kind of thing during that time to help the service guys and country. Not at all like things are now. I never heard of the plane spotters. Of course I was about 9 and 10. Can't believe people still do that. maudemaxine@gmail.co,https://www.blogger.com/profile/11612461543816484090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-14993734337563710202013-10-13T16:34:31.731-04:002013-10-13T16:34:31.731-04:00Thanks, Pat!

I barely remember when Pearl Harbor was bombed as we listened to the radio, but I do remember how mad Grandpa was at the Japanese and how somber everyone was that Sunday. I had just started school. Our teachers talked about and we had bomb drills much like fire drills today. Grandpa was a "plane spotter" too and made sure we had black-out curtains on all our windows. Great post, Darlene. Brought back a lot of memories.Martha W.

Like you, (...This is a great post for a great era. Like you, (babyboomer!) I grew up on stories of my mother's youth and the war. She recalls the Pearl Harbor attack via radio, and ended up graduating from high school during the war. There were hardly any boys at their big dance. We just don't have a clue what that was like as VietNam was so different.<br /><br />When I was a travel agent I knew all the jets by their shape and my kids thought that was cool. (too many new planes now)<br />I'll be looking for this release Darlene!<br />Debra E. Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853387871623424853noreply@blogger.com
