You could check out the WWII Reenactors Forum. They have a women's services section that should have all the info you need as far as uniforms and vendors and such. Here's the link.... WWII Reenactor's Forum
Buck Compton was a jock in college before entering the Army. It could be from the school he went to....though that is just a guess and I don't know which college he went to.
Hemingway, you sound like my kind of people. I too hold my allegience to the mighty Jeep brand. I have an '02 Grand Cherokee Laredo (which is the low model on the totem pole as far as Grand Cherokees are concerned) which I love. I graduated from a '86 Cherokee Laredo which I pretty much ran into...
Google Earth dooesn't bother me at all......especially since the aerial photos of my city were taken last in 1996 and my street did not exist at that time. So when I look for my house on Google Earth I look for the big field several block away from the high school.
I've never been a fan of any alcoholic beverages, so I would choose Dr Pepper as my favorite Golden Era beverage. For those who doubt, Dr Pepper was invented in 1884......a year before Coke's 1885 birth.

I second that on the Dr Pepper. You can also order cases of the Dr Pepper with Imperial Sugar from the factory's website Dublin Dr Pepper There is also the Dr Pepper Museum Store from which you can buy reproductions of the different vintage Dr Pepper signs, and other Dr Pepper paraphernalia...

Just thought I'd give a heads up that "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is going to be airing on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) 12:30pm-3:00pm Pacific time (check your listings) on Saturday April 16, 2005
I've got my DVR set to record it. Also, if I'm not mistaken, TCM does not break for commercials...
The Lord Roxton character in that show (not shown in the above piture) regularly uses a pair of "ivory" handled Webleys. They certainly have taken a few "creative liberties" with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel.

I have the Benny Goodman recording from Cargegie Hall the rendition of Sing, Sing, Sing on the album jacket is titled Sing, Sing, Sing (With A Swing). At 12+ minutes long and including an extended drum solo by Gene Krupa (which is awesome) is by far my favorite piece of swing music.
