POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA WRIT SMALL. (Theodore Dalrymple).
Whenever there is trouble, we'll depend on ourselves. We'll take care of it--when it comes, not after it's too late. Will James, THE AMERICAN COWBOY {1942}
I'M UPSTAGED BY MY GRANDDAUGHTER
Born in Ohio in 1924; I'll leave the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as the ferry boats crossing back and forth, barges being pushed up-river, tugs heading down-river to assist large liners or freighters in docking, tankers coming in, and I witnessed the maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, with and escort of Fire Boats shooting huge streams of water skyward, the large vessels being berthed on the N.Y. side of the river. Later beginning at age 16, I became a sailor and spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII, and being paid to do it.
