Hi Elvis

I should have posted that Dad is perched on a FOLKE-WULF 190 (I think?) German fighter that was at the Berlin Airport shot up during the fall of Germany - Dad, who was stationed there got to go thru all the broken planes, he brought back many souvenirs of those planes and lots of pix

Thanks, Robert.

Thank you all for the memory of all the Veterans, past and present.  May we pray that a war is not within our future for us.   Great memories posted to this day.     

John Eaton (1964)

Greg, the airplane is a Focke Wulf Fw-190, most likely an Fw-190 A but possibly an Fw-190 F.

Before Veterans Day slips away, I want to say God bless my old friend Mike Miller and everyone else who put their ____ on the line in Viet Nam. After receiving a low draft number, I enlisted and served in the U.S Navy with the singular intention of avoiding the infantry. Due to some fortuitous health issues at the time, I never left San Diego and spent my days as an office clerk. My older brother David Childers should be added to the list of veterans (65-66'). He saw Viet Nam from the deck of the troop transport, USS Renville. The only time I set foot on a ship was when they pulled into port and I dropped by for a visit with Dave. Ah, the twists and turns of life. One can "go with the flow" or "keep running against the wind." I'm not sure it makes any difference in the end.

Thank you Robert Cowing for the correction of my service....

cheers, greg

John Eaton:  Love the pictures of the World War II Planes.  Those Airforce pilots had no heaters or any comforts in those planes, as they flew overseas.  I watched a Channel 6 special on those men.  Nothing like the planes today.   Just amazing they were able to do their duties.

Hey Craig,Who died and made you cotroller of the daly discussion topic? SHUT UP!

Jim Moore (1963)

I agree Monte

Paul Schattauer (1961)

I do not know whether these creeps and pervs are guilty but I believe they are.  We have known people who like themselves so much that they have no idea how many people don't agree  and that their actions are unwanted and offensive.  Abuse of subordinates should be punished; force or violence should be prosecuted. The human condition will remain but we can be better.  Monte, Craig has been asked by many posters to ease up on the pointless posts and the political attacks. He refuses. He seems to like the conflict.  All of us have a point of view, none of us have the moral high ground..  Especially Craig and I. 

Paul Schattauer (1961)

Nothing is  "here and now". Politics is as always fluid and not very transparent.  It is raining shoes and dissapointment and hope are everywhere.  As a distraction Angela is not having a good day.  We shouldn't choose up sides here as it is much to partisan and too complicated.  Just a note, I was in Woodland last week with my wife on our way to Tahoe where we we were married 41 years ago.  Had dinner with a classmate and his wife at Kitchen 428.  A truely grand evening.  My great grandmother lived in that building in the 50s.  Woodland looked great, even better than I remember.  Collede is a 2 way street again :).  Tahoe was beautiful, we took a photo tour and recorded lots of memories.  Harrah's where we spent our wedding night was still very nice but kinda reminded me of that old country song by Tanya Tucker "Delta Dawn"......juat a faded rose of days gone by......

I see there are two members of this forum that have a god complex! When are you two going to pick up where jim jones left off?

I liken this forum to my favorite car in college, a  deep blue 1957 Ford Fairlane that I bought from Charlie Kelley.  The car had only one problem.  It had an annoying squeak in the dash.  Never did get rid of that squeak. Sound familiar?    Hmmm!

THANKSGIVING 

I would like to take a moment and express on this Thanksgiving season what I am most thankful for:

I am thankful to a loving Heavenly Father, for all He has blest us with. I am thankful for his Son, Jesus Christ, for His miraculous birth, His perfect example, and His atoning sacrifice, so that as we repent and strive to obey all His commandments, we may return to His presents, after we have finished our work here on earth.  

I am thankful for my Mom and Dad. I am truly blest and thankful to be able to say that I never, ever, heard a harsh word spoken between my parents. None of us kids were ever spanked, or mistreated. We were raised in a home of love, and with food on the table. We never went to bed hungry, or without saying our prayers to Heavenly Father.

I am thankful for my older brother Leon. He is always there for anybody needing help.

I am thankful for my older sister Maurine who is constantly serving others.

I am thankful for my little brother Eldon who never stops giving.

I am especially thankful for my loving wife, Anna, from Italy.  She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Together, we have our beautiful daughter, Bella, and her wonderful husband, Sio’ata, from the island of Tonga, who have given us 3 wonderful grandkids. Cameron, age 20, currently serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Papua New Guinea. Tatiana, age 16, a water polo and volley ball athlete with a 4 point grade average. And Sisilia, age 6, a rising ballet dancer/singer/Moana lookalike, and CEO of the Larson/Lapu’aho families. 

I am thankful for this great country, America, in which we live. 

And lastly, I am thankful to all of you, my classmates, friends, neighbors, family, relatives, and all people throughout the world, I truly do love you all and hope and pray we will all be reunited again in the Eternities. May God bless us all, and God bless America!

Thanks Vern Larson for sharing, with a grateful heart, what is paramount in most of our lives: faith, family, and country. Bev Hukill (Nunes), appreciate your comment. Many of us don’t share stories because of that dribble, which often includes a side dish of bullying, bless his heart. Don Murdoch, you provided a humorous analogy. Some squeaks increase in intensity at times, though, and it’s tempting to run that car right off a cliff. On a lighter note, wishing all WHS classmates a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving....

Abraham Lincoln

It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God; to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations are blessed whose God is the Lord.

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. We have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.

It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a day of Thanksgiving and praise to our Father who dwells in heaven.

We have come a long way and further distanced ourselves from God as a nation.  There is no Thanksgiving holiday where I live and I have to admit I miss it.  A day to get together with friends and family with no presents or requirements.
