My grand uncle’s WW2 unit photograph. The photograph is of Company D, 113th Infantry Regiment, 44th Division, Fort Dix N.J. 1941. It is (almost) fully signed by the soldiers of D Company on the back.
Picked up this 12” GE Quiet Blade oscillating fan at a local thrift shop the other day. This model (with the streamliner cage) was manufactured in 1936 & 1937. It runs good at all three speeds and the oscillator works perfectly. Just needs to be oiled and cleaned up.
We saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra (back in July) at the beautiful Paramount Theater in Anderson, Indiana. The band was great (as usual) but the theater was absolutely amazing.
I love old electric fans from the 1920s through the 1940s. We run ours year round. They were built to last and as long as you keep the bearings oiled they will pretty much run forever.
The 1940 U.S. Federal Census will not be available to the public until April 2, 2012. The census records are not available to the public until 72 years after the year the census was taken.
The two juggernaut department stores from my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana were Wolf & Dessauer and Murphy's. Unfortunately, neither of them are still around today.

I am listening to "What Did You Put In That Kiss" by Betty Hutton. Catchy little tune.:D
