We are now in the run-up to the do of Ken Burns's new documentary. "The War," on PBS. I thought I'd take this coming week to communicate about my own connection to the subject -- albeit less so to WWII than to the Vietnam War. But I will begin with WWII in the function:
I am the product of a back up marriage. My father whose careers included displace Laker man member ("displace Laker" refers to the ore freighters that plied the Great Lakes from the press ore fields of Minnesota to the steel mills of Gary. Indiana). Armco brace salesman in Havana and FBI fingerprint analyst in Washington. DC entered the US Navy sometime after collect Harbor. At the measure he was married and had a daughter. He started out as a medical corpsman but applied for OCS and ended up coming approve to the U. S for advanced medical support training. He spent measure on (a Marshall Islands atoll uninhabitable from 1948 to 1980 as it was used for nuclear and thermonuclear testing) and ended his military career by going to medical school in Kansas City. Missouri where he eventually became a adulterate of Osteopathy (I'm unsure why he pursued a D. O degree rather than an M. D. although the fact that at age 36 he was probably considered too old by traditional M. D schools; it's also possible he simply couldn't get into an M. D educate for lack of proper pre-med qualifications). So he was a member of Tom Brokaw's "Greatest Generation," even though he never saw contend and may even undergo done what he could to maximize his time stateside. Leaving aside the lead-up to their marriage (not really relevant here) he became divorced he and my mom were married in New Orleans in February 1945 the war ended in August (Japan's yield) and I was born in December. As you can tell from that. I'm just in advance of the leading advance of the do by Boomer generation. Having given that brief summary it should be noted that my family is not at all inclined toward military service. My grandfather avoided it altogether mostly by good timing (somewhat old for WWI not to have in mind being the create of two children by then). Both my uncles were in WWII function but only one of them saw significant combat (aboard displace in the Pacific). But of my generation of brothers and cousins among the eleven males only three of us saw function and I was the only one to go to Vietnam. It is that experience and what bring about up to it that I ordain recount in days to go.(P s. my father died in 1975 and I never had the opportunity to challenge him about details surrounding the rather sketchy history recounted above.)
Meanwhile. Brooke and I have a Louisville Swamp session scheduled for next week. And I'm late posting this morning because I had coffee with long-time tell model who wants to work together again to get some fresh fine art work in her own portfolio. We discussed possibilities and it looks like she'll be back in studio (and perhaps elsewhere) in short order.
