[or-roots] Memories of WWII

[Cecil Houk]

There are many things that I remember about WWII, but today my letter flipper (mail man), dropped the 2 DVD, 26 epasodes (12 hours total), of "Victory At Sea" through my mail slot.  A very great buy!

I remember rationing, and the day I spilled a new 5 pound bad of sugar in the wood shed.  Yikes!

I remember the really bad synthetic rubber ballons produced near the end of WWII.  We didn't have to pay for them until you inflated them and they didn't break (Foster, Or, general store).

I remember the GI's who took a rest break in our barn.... That I almost burned down a few years later.
