I remember

I remember pearl Harbor, My mother and father were living on a farm 3 miles up the road from Carrollton when someone stop by and told daddy that the Japanese had bombed pearl harbor.
We had no radio so my parents gathered my brother Richard and myself in their arms and walked to the Hugh Morris store at Carrollton AR.
I remember entering the store. it was crowded with people. The men had gathered around the heating stove and on a box sat the radio they were listens as the news was broad caste.
This one event probably had more effect on my life than any other in my life time. Daddy sold the farm and moved us to Denver Arkansas near mother's family and he went away to war. It was a very trying time in our lives.
