In his position, he was particularly hated by the enemy because his radio communiques helped...

Mine was a nice yellow and white color and definitely crochet by a family friend. And then, my mind wanders. How many baby pictures of some of your male ancestors have you been fortunate enough to view? It is amazing that most all of the... Full story
