[or-roots] WWII

[OregonMol at aol.com]

Did any school district other than Medford warn students not to pick up 
brightly colored fall leaves since they might be phosphorus coated.  Those of us 
who walked across town to Junior or Senior High were particularly and repeatedly 
reminded.  I also knew at the time of the people killed over the mountains 
and also of the submarine aattack (or attacks) on the Oreagon coast.  We usually 
went to White Rock on the California/Oregon line for a vacation in October 
and the only place to eat was a small restuarant across the highway;.  The 
Coastguardsmen came in with the dogs just before sunset and the start of their 
patrol so we got all sorts of unavailable information.  Also at least one night we 
watched lights signaling from the ocean toward land.
Ah yes, what memories
