World History

the way to do it. We travelled through Paris with mom who was a trooper and a culture lover but we didn't have time for Normandy unfortunately. She and my sister had travelled to England and one site they really enjoyed seeing, especially mom, was Churchill's home, Chartwell. It was mom who told us the most about their war experiences, she was great that way. My older brother also was interested in history and relayed a good deal of Dad's experiences.

Looking back I suppose we thought there would always be more time. And besides thoughtless and young, we were (too) busy. Your dad sounds like a very hardy person, that's terrific. Our dad lived to senior years but died fast from advanced disease much too young. The war had something to do with that although he never regretted serving of course. He never even got to see the WWII Memorial in DC, only finished about 10 years ago. No time like the present!

I think we went to well known Seneca Rocks once and young ones in the family like to hike there. I've read how US army special mountain troops used the area to prep for the Alps in Europe. I've been through there some in college- Bavaria, Switzerland, No. Italy in summertime, a very beautiful and scenic mountain area which reminded me somewhat of W.Va.
