I remember
towels or glasses in clothes detergent boxes
blue starch to soak our nurses caps in (stuck them to the mirror until dry)
sitting in long rows at school (desks attached to the floor)
waiting for a turn to use the phone (many sisters)
paying a penny for a seltser at the luncheon counter in Woloworths
parades with lots of marching bands and service men
church on Sunday and the bakery afterward
good times and occasionally bad times.
I have learned from all of them; I hope.
