An old poster I found among Dad's belongings.
Sutter Living Center has five men now--Curly, Carl, Dad, Art and Bob. All could remember their time in the war.
Curly, Art and dad..most of our remaining WW2 veterans look just like this--old and in wheelchairs. They felt honored and appreciated during this presentation.
Art was so cute when he was getting ready for the event--he was told to go comb his hair in his room and when he came out his hair WAS combed-but he had his bathrobe on!!!! So, back in he went and with a little help he was all ready and on time, too. You can tell by looking at his picture that he is very sweet. He and his wife have been married for 70 years!!! They lived in Manistee and were also sailors-and had a boat just like mom and dad.
Bob was in the army and helped liberate two concentration camps.
They did a very nice power point presentation this year.
Actually, dad was getting ready to cry as this picture was being taken--Bob was sitting at our table and dad began to think of his brother, Bob. He asked me if Bob Probeck was also present.
My father-in-law, Richard Truitt.
Mom and Dad still holding hands and needing each other.
And would a trip in Michigan during hunting season be complete without a scene like this one that we passed on our way home!!
