I spent a total of about 11 years in Norfolk/Virginia Beach on ships and at a shore base.

I won't say that sometimes it's not hard to appreciate the times we live in!<br />I once played pool on a regular basis with a guy from a local Seattle grunge band, while I was in college. It's funny where people end up in the end.

Because the bombs were not dropping on us, school and activities went on as usual. Some form of swing dance was always in the fore. I recall Boogie Woogie being "hot" during that time.

A lot of memories from my youth are blurry and others are very sharp and when I focus in, those war memories come in clearly.

Mine were always brown/white. sweater sets too. The short sleeve pullover sweater and the matching cardigan. You were really something if they were cashmere and cashmere wasn't "that" expensive back than. I don't remember wearing any synthetic fabrics back then.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6647852722354804887.post-80651530463912045272013-03-10T07:11:38.887-07:002013-03-10T07:11:38.887-07:00Fishducky
