My God. My grandfather was at the Meusse-Argonne driving a truck up to the front lines. He carried ammo and medical supplies up and bodies back. He might have crossed paths with Sam. People praise the "Greatest Generation" of WWII but I think their parents might have been tougher.
I agree. Having visited some of those WWI battlefields, the trenches, the cemeteries, and pairing them with books, documentaries and oral histories before, during and after that trip. Geez. The trenches did me in.
What a doozy of a story! I'm here for the next episode. Always a joy to read your lost and found stories.
Thanks, @Jill Swenson! He’s a quirky character for sure, and was fun to write about.
I really enjoyed this Lori. I am looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.
Thanks, Jane! This was a fun story to retell so I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
What a story!!
And it only gets better! Let’s just say Sam was a character 😉
He was set in his ways.
What an interesting and unusual story Lori. I’m off to read part 2 now
Fun story!! He was like a giant rock that could not be moved.
Looking forward to reading part two!

That’s a small world moment, isn’t it?
