Re: December 7, 1941
I was born in 1952, but i've often tried to imagine what it was like living in those years, with front page headlines and the world changing like that!
My wife's father, and his parents on a farm in Bellefonte, Pennsylania during that period...
Lily Belle and Jon Corman and son J. Ned Corman
...and after the attack on Pearl Harbor...
Room Mates - Johnny Anderson, John Henry, J. Ned Corman, Glenn Bowers
Tracy's father - J. Ned Corman - who flew the F4U Corsair as a Marine fighter pilot with the Black Sheep Squadron in the Pacific during World War II

My parents during the war years...
Private Warren M. Bodie, Rattlesnake Bomber Base, Pyote, TX, c. 1943
My parents met on a base in Florida where he was stationed and she worked. They were married shortly after that...
Catherine Cecelia (Larson) and Warren Monroe Bodie in 1945. She was about 17 and he was about 22 years old.
