There is an elderly guy who lives down the street from me.He was in the 149th Signal Company,U.S.Army in Europe in World War Two,he worked in Motor Pool.He once told me his Company was heading to Bastogne at the tail end of the Battle of the Bulge.This evening or tomorrow,I am going to ask him if he ever met Kurt Vonnegut. cuhulin |
