i was just a little girl that dec 7th, but it became imprinted in my memory.....i remember also when the war ended.....by all the memories i have revolving around it......i was talking to cataholic and i mentioned to her it was dec 7th and she told me you had started a thread.....somehow yesterday i had missed it....it is always strange to me how little it is remembered each year....how strange our priorities.....or perhaps it is because it is so long ago.....and only the older of us can relate......i really dont know. i teach also, but lst grade so dont get to examine that date as you do. thanks again mugsy!
