Dec 4, 2008 - I suppose the hookers have long since retired, and the Hotel Phone operators no longer go 'HELOOO' but speak good English.. but it was a most facinating insight from a time long past.. Thank you Stu.. I loved it... :)

Dec 4, 2008 - Oh great story, Pappy. I love these. I have my Cousin Bubby's naval uniform from WWII. It fit me in HS. (Not anymore!) He was a Big man when I knew him, but he must have been just a pup in the war to end all wars. Thanks for this, Pappy.

Dec 4, 2008 - I enjoyed your story as always but was wondering... how old were you at that time? My daddy, who is 82 now, was in the Navy and he looked great in his dress whites when he was 18. :)
