SGA Saturday

Just wanted to let you know that recently, paperwork has been located about my dad. A good buddy of his was writing down stories of his youth to be published in a book. He allowed a cousin of mine to have a written down copy with original photos of my Dad when he was 15 and 17. It made me cry reading about a part of my dad's life he never got to tell me about.

Part of it was how his friends would climb the trees (so it wouldn't stop him from getting that ride and to still keep my dad company) to wait with him while he waited to hitch a ride back to Camp Pendleton. Quite a few of the boys in his neighborhood went into the marines during the Korean conflict. He was so young when he hitched up. He was just 17 and it appears that quite a few of them were underage.
