Two girls at Salzburg 1945 June
Two little girls were just walking by and I picked them up.  In about  1996 I went back to Salzburg after a Nation wide search for them in Austria and found them.  this is one of them. Nope, I could not upload her picture



Emil Ludwig Kasserne Darmstadt 1945
The  move from Salzburg Austria to Kassel Germany

Tommy Begley Killed on the Saratoga  1945

Brother Floyd (Rusty) Gudgel. On the USS carrier Lexington 1943. Sunk at the Battle of The Coral Sea.  23 out of the 25 in his gun crew were killed 
A few years ago just before moving to Adagio I met the other survivor who  was his Lt. battery commander. There had been an article in the Seattle Times about him. So I went to visit him.

I went back to Darmstadt in about 1984 and the Kasserne was still occupied by the US Army.  It was an AA Missile battalion then. Divarty when I was there

odd picture in picasa



 Some pages are almost all the kind that are just a tiny bit of a larger picture
Obviously it is taking a section out of a real picture.  However double clicking on the picture does not give you a normal picture but just a big picture of the thumbnail.  It doesn't seem to distinguish between pictures with faces and pictures with no faces.  That seems to be the problem.  I can do further research if you tell me what to look for

When you go to a big picture by clicking on it if you happen to use gmail you can enlarge the picture to a huge deminsion  by clicking the + sign in the cursor.

Ballard Hi Band 1939

1939
I'm always interested in the Highs School bands.  We couldn't hold a candle to the bands today.  We played places like school plays and an occasional radio show.  But todays bands practice, practice and more practice.  Once about this time I went to the Trianon Ballroom here in Seattle to deliver a telegram  and was able to listen to one of the big bands prepare for a dance and even they had to practice. We missed getting into the School Annual somehow. I think Meyers was the leader. I'm the one with the guitar

Why do they call it Jazz?  It seems to be Swing.  I think there  is a difference.  I'd like to hear some of them anyway.
