Good Ole Days

From Pauline Mazariegos of Gettysburg, PA.

Thanks for Rita embellishing the Monkey Cake. Some put pecans on it, but Mom’s were always plain. It reminded me of sticky buns which I love, mess and all. By the way, I loved Harvey Wike’s poem on his grandkids that you published in the February issue.

In your January issue on the comments, questions and letter section Harvey Wike mentioned a car accident where your Dad (Franklin Wike, Sr.) was driving. I have more info from my sister Shirley, even though we were very young.

Follow-up to WH Howard

From Milton Long

As a follow-up on the article about WH Howard in the February issue of the U. S Legacies, I was able to furnish this picture of WH, which I took of him in the Seigfried line in January 1945. I provided the family with information about our unit and the part WH played in winning the war.

There’s a little church where we used to go.

You may recall, it was St. Joe.

Hard Scrabble, was a nickname,

It wasn’t famous, nor held no fame.

Our mom and dad, always faithful and true,

For miles they walked, the best they could do.

With Harold, Richard, Jean, Norma and Linda too,

We went to Church, Fountain Ferry and Zoo.
