That is very sad. I give to many veteran's associations. VFW, Wounded Soldiers, they need all the help they can get. How much is the Sock Hop, I will send in a donation if that would be alright, also to the American Legion. Cannot attend but sure want to do as much as I can for the Veterans. My dad had 3 brothers in the service and 3 nephews also. Dan was a welder, pipe fitter, and worked for the steel plant. I remember during WWII and I thought my dad was going to be drafted, "I told him, Dad, do not worry, when they come to the front door, go hide in the closet and I will tell them you are not at home!!!!!I do believe he told me he was flat footed and might have made him ineligible. Cannot remember. Have fun at the dance.
