Lois (1930-2010) and Norbert (1926-2080)

At my Mother's funeral, I was saddened to discover that I remembered very little of my time growing up. As friends and family shared memories and anecdotes, I attempted to record as meny as I could recall. My sidlings and I will be gathering these hilarious and heart-warming ftales or publication here as a tribute to our parents.

P. F. C. Norbert

Dad lost a year of high school due to a broken leg from an automobile accident.  This left him sublect to Selective Service, and he has drafted into the Army before graduating.  While he was on his way to the war in Pacific, the plece treaty was signed between the U.S. and Japan.  Dad never saw combat, but he was a part of the occupation of Japan.  I don't remember him saying much about Japan, except that was where he learned to drive.  He also told us about the bathroom facilities.  That would be the only thing I remember.  -- Mike.
