My avatar back? My avatar back? It's gone again?
I went through the whole biz last night, and looks fine to me...
(That's cool about the link, though. Thanks!)
Well, i hate ta disappoint ya, Boss, but i don't see no picture . . .
I'll be. Might as well do that, then. (Still seeing it clear as a bell over here.)
Red hot, Boss . . . say, watach doin' tanight ?
Throwin' together a war plane or two. You?
BTW, Bill W is using the same avatar (might have thought that URL would restore his) so if anyone can find his (the think pic of a wolf) and give him the link it would solve this.
Nuffink in particular . . . wanna get together over a P47 Thunderbolt?
Ooh, sounds lovely! I bet it would sound even better if I knew what the heck it was...
One a them there warplanes, Boss . . . i'd settle fer a P40 Kittyhawk, though . . .
Oh. I just makes 'em, I don't need to know what they're called...
(Busies self with getting spit curl just right.)
My grandfather had a print shop, and in the back room he had a whole host of such war production posters . . . i've liked yer avatar since first i saw it, because it reminded me of old timey things . . .
I like 'em too. I collected wartime postcards when I lived in England -- a favorite sports the legend:
Be like Dad -- Keep Mum!!
I love Rosie Soz, my mom was one of those "gals" she worked at the Remington Arms Plant in Denver during WWII making tracer rounds for the Army. I have photos of her with a bandana covering her hair, it was she said a rule that they keep their hair covered because of the machinery. Of course she was let go after WWII and my dad came home too, that is how I got here in 1946.
My mother was in the Army Nurse Corps in wwII. We had a photo of her at home in fatigues, wearing a stell pot helmet, sitting behind a macine gun. Guys would say: "Yeah, yer momma wears army boots." I'd say, "Not since the war."
Cool isn't it, the world was never the same once women went to work.
We were in a US concentration camp in Northern California, Tule Lake, during WWII. I sent my mother's camp photo identification badge to the Japanese-American National Museum in Los Angeles as a donation, so they can display it with other concentration camp memorabilia. c.i.
c.i., how old were you then? My gosh what a shameful chapter in the history of Califonia and the US.
I didn't know that c.i. What a background!
