Well, three hours into research and posting, never learning my lesson about saving my work as I go along, I tried to open a web page on the Colt 1911 use in the Marines. The computer froze. Down went my essay and all the research that I now have to recreate about marine boot camp in WWII, leave, weapons, etc, etc, etc.

My apologies for all those waiting to learn how Paul got to Iwo Jima. Stand by for Tuesday.

For those with continuing interest of the history of Kansas City during World War II, check out the nose art of the Kansas City Kitty .

You have my sympathy. Back in the day of uni the Importance of the Universe was defined by the Looming Deadline. It being several levels above God, Beer and Sex. I had the misfortune to find my fabled floppy finally fatedly fitting. Oh yes many f words. My only source and was superbly timed just before the hour of reckoning. Ahh those were the days.... TG they are over. Footnote: Computers are evil. First Footed Footnote: Gates is the Master of this Evil. (this is worse than Godwin's law) Finally Footed Footnote: Is Barb awake to take the bait?
