LETTER #23 - 30 MARCH 1944




"Snowball" his dog, painted by my Dad, circa 1944, when he was around 12-13.
My little notes:
Not too much besides Uncle Louie still on K.P. duty and anxiously waiting to ship out of there!  He laughs about Snowball the family dog being stuck in the dog pound for a few days.....and him feeling like a "scrub woman"!

Uncle Louie feeling like a "scrub woman"!

  1. A great letter as usual, thanks for posting Cindy! It's fun to see military life can be as mundane as civilian life at times. The illustrations are a nice bonus too. Keep up the good work!

    All best,

  2. Thanks Skipp for the compliment and encouragement. It's quite the learning experience for me too. I enjoy it and also enjoy incorporating my Dad in there too!

  3. That painting of Snowball is really remarkable, I was shocked to see he did that at 12-13. Too bad Uncle Louis didn't have the swimming pool and bowling alley, what a difference that would make really!! Thanks again for posting!
