Well...me either but a different time John......it wasn't completely his idea......my father moved to Boston 1941 to work as a welder at the Quincy Navel Shipyard....single parent.....teenage son.....working long hrs......brother would pack his lunch and leave for school...but didn't go...went off with a bad crowd instead...father warned him repeatedly to sharpen up and get an education...go to school. Brother couldn't manage to get a grip......old man said " There is a war on...If I can't keep track of you. you'll go where they can." Brother continued his chosen path in downtown Boston. Old man took him down to the recruiters ......"You got three choices......Air...Land or Sea" Being an islander...he went to Sea....
Sounds harsh....but by all accounts was the best thing for him...when came back was straightened out...hard worker....married. had 5 kids, bought properties...did well.....production machinist by trade....lived in a paid for large stone home in South Portland on several acres...did very well for himself and his family without even a high school diploma.... Sold all that and him and his wife retired to a little Cape Cod home he had bought on the island many years before.......

Morning Adam....Happy New Year!!!!
Happy new year Robin!
Robin you really should try and write a LOT of things down ! You have so much in that head its gotta be crowded ! LOL
My Dad did something like that , he was 17 took my Uncles new car , didn't ask plus he had got into some kinda booze . LOL Was fine till he totaled than brand new car ! A judge gave him that same choice or jail , he also went Navy . LOL The Uncle he was living with lived here in Ohio , he was in WWII , was up a ways in rank , major I think , his Dad lived in Okla. Not him or any of his 3 older brothers & 3 sisters could get along with there Dad ? Never asked why or was told anything about that other than he was the meanest man they ever knew .
Korean war was stihl going on then , whatever years that was , 50s all I can member .
Wish the sun was out but I will settle for the mild temps. Happy New Year!
